Nitara Baruah is a high school sophomore at Rutgers Preparatory School. At school, she participates in Model UN and JV tennis. She was recognized by the school for achieving 50+ hours of volunteering in a single year and received an Honors Community Service Award. Highlights from her service include volunteering at Aceing Autism, where she helped children with special needs learn tennis, and Tend to a Friend. Outside of school, she completed an Inspirit AI Scholars Course, a selective two-week research program that focused on the ethical issues when using an AI tool named COMPAS in the courtroom to predict a criminal's likelihood of recidivism. She implemented segments of linear and logistic regression, neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and NLPs when researching this topic and demonstrated teamwork skills, understanding complex topics, and research. She also attended TARGET, a selective STEM program at Rutgers University, where she collaborated to design, model (using TinkerCAD), and build a functional canoe based on principles of buoyancy. Other projects she engineered include a reaction-time game using Python & Arduino, a battery-bearing bridge, and a miniature walking robot.
