In this episode, we sit down with Estella and Sophie, two talented high school students who have made their mark at the SIIM Hackathon. Together, they earned second place in 2024, and Sophie returned the following year to place again.

Estella and Sophie reflect on their experiences with SIIM, share what it was like to compete in the hackathon, and discuss the interests and career paths they’re exploring beyond SIIM.
