Lanier high school senior Penelope Maldonado isn’t afraid to take charge and fix things herself. And she does so in a predominantly male class.
She is president of her school’s robotics team that she recently led to winning a city-wide electric car race.
Rios said having a female student like her is rare, and hopes she can encourage more into the robotics/engineering field. Penelope said she would have never thought of engineering and robotics as something she would’ve enjoyed if it wasn’t for a free stem-robotics summer camp put on at the University of Incarnate Word when she was in eighth grade.It was other young women mentors in STEM that encouraged her. She hopes to do the same to get more girls involved in what she loves.
Next year she earned a full ride to study aerospace engineering at Texas A&M University. She will be the first in her family to go to college. She says her family is very excited for her opportunity.
