 Berkeley senior Lovanya Jawarhalal and her sister Melissa co-founded STEM Center USA, a unique after-school program for students whose interest aren't in karate or dance. Instead, these students want to expand their horizons into the STEM field. We offer hands-on classes to students in K-12 through products and services. So we offer after-school programs, in-school programs, and a creativity center based in Claremont, California. Students come into our center and just like they might go to soccer or basketball practice twice a week, they come into our center to practice their creativity, to practice their programming and their building. STEM Center USA hopes not to just create the next generation of STEM leaders, but to empower and break boundaries for women and for minorities. Well, to give you some stats, here at Berkeley, I am a mechanical engineer and even here on this campus, the percentage of women to men in mechanical engineering is 11%. And that is a very, very low number. What we're trying to do at STEM Center USA is excite young kids into STEM fields. When they're young, when they're children, they're like sponges. They're excited about doing all sorts of things. They take hands-on learning to a new level. They get excited about what science and math is through experiments. Now, focusing on young girls and minority groups, a lot of times we run into stereotypes. Especially in elementary school levels. So we want to reach kids young, break the stereotypes before they even are exposed to them. Lavanya and her sister Melissa saw the need for expansion and with the help of ABC's Shark Tank are seeing this dream come to fruition. Next up is a business designed to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists. Hello, sharks. My name is Melissa Jower-Hallal. And I'm Lavanya. We are sisters and co-founders of STEM Center USA. Young girls that get told, being nerdy, is it cool? We want to change that. And that starts from the bottom. Well, you still have two sharks. You've got Lori and you've got Chris. There is a big thirst for materials like this. So what I'd like to do is offer you $150k for 25% of the company. We would love to consider it. We do believe it. I see in you guys something that I think is really, really important to women. I think both of you are extremely impressive. I like what you're doing. I like the concept. And I like what it will do for young women. I'm going to offer you $150k for 20%. Would either of you do $200k for 20%? I would. You are dynamite. You can do anything. Yeah, thank you. My favorite class was American Studies 10, taught by Christine Palmer. 6 UNC with Dan Garcia. It's French 13. The professor is Gabrielle Flamba.
