Anushka Kollengode

Rochester, 12th grade
2023-2024 Trailblazer Fellow

Anushka’s bold dream is to use the power of technology to find cures for diseases and to develop novel solutions to protect the environment.

Using ABF grant in 2021, Anushka published the app called Green3 that helps people dispose of litter responsibly. You can read more about the app here.

With the Trailblazer Fellowship, she will further her skills, purchase hardware and software and work towards her passion of harnessing the power of technology.
Anushka enjoys volunteering through Sathya Sai Organization, Girls Scouts, singing with Honors Choir SE Minnesota and performing Indian Classical dance, Bharatanatyam. In 2023, Anushka received the Mayor’s Medal of Honor for her community service.

Anushka says, “As the world is shrinking with rapid changes in technology, I think girls and women need to take an active role in developing creative solutions through technology; from protecting the environment to developing cures for illness like cancer.”
