" The Millennium Fellowship will equip me with the knowledge and skills to further women in STEM and create a flywheel effect of initiatives that empower underrepresented groups in technical fields, both during and after my fellowship. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Flywheel Project
The Flywheel Project will empower women and underrepresented groups in STEM by creating a self-sustaining cycle of support and mentorship. As a mechanical engineering student I was inspired by the concept of a flywheel, which stores and releases energy to maintain motion, so the project aims to generate continuous momentum through small, consistent efforts. By providing mentorship, organizing workshops, and creating opportunities for collaboration, we will create an inclusive environment for women in mechanical engineering. The goal is to create a long-lasting impact in the STEM community. Just like a flywheel, the progress will gain momentum as small wins accumulate over time.
About the Millennium Fellow
Sonvi Jain is a final year mechanical engineering student at Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW). She was first introduced to and enamored by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as a fifth grader, and has been committed to embodying change since then. As a Millennium Fellow, she sees it as her responsibility to amplify the voices of female engineers and advocate for their professional opportunities. She is passionate about creating an impactful, inclusive community that fosters growth and social change. Her project is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5 “Gender Equality” and UN Academic Impact Principle 3 “Education for All” to spark a flywheel effect, amplifying the voices of women and driving systemic change in STEM education.
