(September 5, 2025) <\/strong>At just 17, Geet from Delhi has already carved a remarkable space for herself in the world of science, innovation, and advocacy. She became the first Indian student to attend NASA Space Camp<\/a> on a full scholarship and went on to win the coveted Right Stuff Award owing to her consistent efforts during the camp. She later founded Next Nebula, her own space education platform, pioneered biomedical research on microplastics, and authored Starstruck<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, Geet\u2019s journey into science didn\u2019t start in a classroom or laboratory, but in childhood conversations with a toy she called Dolly. Those playful questions about the Moon, the stars, and gravity sparked a curiosity that never faded. <\/span>\u2018<\/em><\/span><\/i>The more I learnt, the more I wanted to know. And that\u2019s how my fascination with space began<\/span>,<\/em>\u2019<\/span><\/i> she tells<\/span> Global Indian<\/span><\/i><\/a>. That early spark has since grown into a mission to push the boundaries of science.<\/span><\/p>\n
