Meeting the Co-Founder and Parent of 2 Gifted Children
Dr. Minna Allarakhia
Co-Founder | BioEndeavor
I know what it's like raising deeply curious children who needed to be challenged outside the classroom to feed their curiosity. I started BioEndeavor to inspire my children and other STEM inclined, gifted and/or homeschooled children to find their purpose and passion through STEAM for GOOD. This program specifically seeks to empower girls across science, math, language, technology, AI, through leadership opportunities and national/global competitions. We help girls think ahead - not having to wait to be challenged. Our students have participated in both regional and national science fairs, winning gold medals, scholarships and other monetary awards, and being awarded top in fair. Our students have participated in global and national writing competitions placing in the top 10% globally. Our students have collaborated with our partners in the global south to support girls and women entrepreneurs in the global south.
Meet Dr. Minna Allarakhia and then schedule a free session
In November - our girls will explore financial literacy and independence through entrepreneurship. Our girls will use a variety of AI tools to design their prototypes and technology.
A new module starts every month.

What truly stood out was the interactive nature of the workshop. Through group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and practical exercises, participants were not just passive recipients of information but active contributors, exchanging ideas and co-creating solutions.
