Text Synopsis

Directions: Read the text synopsis.

When Shree Bose is 15, she travels from Texas to India. There, Bose visits her grandfather who is dying of cancer. Bose decides
that she wants to help people with cancer. Bose returns to Texas. She begins studying cancer by reading blogs and journal
articles and watching YouTube videos. Bose begins emailing college professors, looking for one who will teach her. Only one is
willing. Dr. Basu works at the health science center at the University of North Texas. Dr. Basu likes Bose’s excitement for the work.

Bose’s excitement, creativity, and interest in solving problems began at a young age. When Bose was six, Bose experimented
with changing the color of vegetables. Bose hoped a color change would make people want to eat them. In the fifth grade, Bose
made an electronic garbage can to help people with disabilities. In the sixth grade, Bose made a special pad to help cars get out
of mud.

With Dr. Basu, Bose begins research on a cancer drug for women. The pair wants to learn how to make sure the body does not
reject the drug. Bose submits this project to the first Google Science Fair by making a website. Bose wins the fair. This
experience changes Bose’s life. Bose meets President Obama. Bose is honored in Glamour magazine. Bose receives emails from
thankful cancer patients. This experience also helps Bose learn how to share her ideas with others. This experience also teaches
Bose that people who change the world are just smart and hard-working. Anyone can do it.

Bose’s work is part of a field called STEM: science, technology, engineering, and math. There are many available jobs in this
field. However, there are more men than women in this field. Bose thinks women should show interest in STEM jobs. Women are
equal to men. Women have just as many skills as men. Bose also thinks that women have special points of view to offer when
solving problems.

After winning the Google Science Fair, Bose goes to Harvard University. There, Bose works to get young people interested in
STEM education. However, Bose has trouble teaching students about engineering. Bose and two friends design an engineering
toolkit to help students learn about engineering.
