Here's a note from our Winner-   

Aarya Sobti is an inquisitive 8th-grade student in the Project Arrow Advanced Placement program at Gregory Middle School in Naperville, IL. Passionate about neuroscience and medicine, she draws inspiration from Dr. Marian Diamond’s pioneering work and hopes to one day become a neurosurgeon and medical researcher.

Aarya has participated in Northwestern University’s advanced summer programs in Pre-Med Neuroscience, Cell Biology, and Anatomy & Physiology, and is a participant in Dr. Rubin’s Mini Medical School. She has earned top honors in Science Olympiad, Robotics, and the PTA Reflections Arts Competition. Aarya is also the recipient of Commendation honor at the prestigious John Locke essay competition (2025), and a national level winner at Constituting America competition in the middle school STEM category.

As the founder of Curion, Aarya creates short video podcasts that make complex science accessible and engaging.

In addition to her scientific curiosity, Aarya believes that understanding the Constitution and knowing our rights are essential for shaping a society grounded in both innovation and integrity. Just as science empowers us to improve lives through discovery, civic knowledge empowers us to protect those lives through justice, equality, and responsible action.

Through her interdisciplinary curiosity, academic rigor, and personal resilience, Aarya is committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in early-stage medical research and education.
