SRAVIKA BOLLA

When Sravika learned that speech therapy sessions can cost over $200 each, too expensive for many families, she spent 12 months leading a team to create Baby Bot, a platform integrating cameras, custom mobile applications, and machine learning models that can operate as a telehealth platform connecting families with speech-language pathologists—all for just $50. In addition to applying her entrepreneurial mindset to underserved communities, the 11th grader at Mount Hebron H.S. organized one of the largest Model UN conferences in the area and answered the critical need for donor blood supplies at area trauma centers by creating a recurring partnership with the American Red Cross. A talented choral singer, Sravika has made the Maryland All-State Choir for four consecutive years and uses her talents to provide free audition preparation sessions to those in need.

“[Sravika’s] emotional intelligence, in combination with her advanced academic success, set her apart as an outstanding student who doesn’t just ask if something is possible, but if achieving it will improve the lives of others.” —Angela Pope, teacher and choral director
