Hi, I’m Carolina
I’m a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I love designing, building, and coding to solve real-world problems.
I’m especially interested in technology related to health and rehabilitation, as well as projects for underserved and developing communities. Whether it’s constructing new toilet prototypes or creating apps, I love projects that help improve lives.
