==Bio==
Sude Özcan is a University Innovation Fellows candidate from Middle East Technical University, having majored in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a minor in Mechatronics. Born and raised in a tiny village borough in Çanakkale, Turkey, she has not ceased to make robots since she was 12 years old!
She became interested in robotics in middle school because of a science teacher that really went the extra mile and due to Science Heroes Association's help is able to compete in First Lego League (FLL) for the past three years. Those early experiences with robotics only served to stoke the fire of her passion for engineering, resulting in guiding her to Çapa Science High School in Istanbul, a very selective school where she continued to found a new robotics club and participate in the First Robotics Competition (FRC) and CERN's competition at the Beamline for Schools.
