About Pangea
About Pangea
Project Helix is a Take Action Challenge project that was created under the Pangea Network as a part of the Young Women’s Leadership Conference. The Pangea Network is an international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works with women in Kenya and the United States to provide them with access to the skills and resources they may need to succeed. For our TAC, we had to choose a problem in our community and pitch a project to solve it. If you are a young woman interested in learning life and leadership skills, please do visit the Pangea Network’s website to learn more.

About the Founder
My name is Ojaswi!
I’m a high school junior interested in molecular biology. I’m passionate about making education accessible to people who have similar interests to me but not the same resources. I'm really excited to grow Project Helix even more over the next year!

The Problem
The Problem
Based in Houston, I have observed the state of chronic underfunding in several schools in the Houston area. Personally, I’m very fortunate to have gone to good schools that are have sufficient resources to provide me with a quality education. Additionally, science education is often presented in dry, inaccessible language. My goal for this project was to address this inaccessibility of education.
