BIOGRAPHY

Noah_Barlahan_Secondary - Noah Barlahan.jpg
Since he was a little kid, Noah has always been curious about how everyday mechanisms work and now he wants to be a part of the group that designs them, leading him on the path of mechanical engineering. 

Since joining the 49ers SLI in 2018, he has participated in many different STEM projects. Noah has a knack for improving design projects over long periods leading him to participate in five years of robotics and four years of science fair. He is also the lead of Project FoodLine, a team committed to mitigating food insecurity in his community. He finds much joy in the process; the designing, the building, and the inevitable problems that need to be solved, starting the cycle over.

Outside of academics, you can hear Noah's loud voice as he leads warm-ups and cheers on his teams as varsity captain for track and field for the past four years. On Tuesdays, you will find him volunteering at the local elementary school to introduce STEM topics through projects like paper airplanes or popsicle stick bridges. In his alone time, you can find Noah getting creative in the kitchen, adding ingredients outside the recipe.
The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (49ers SLI) provides multi-year, year-round academic support, STEM enrichment, skills training, and leadership opportunities to students in middle and high school. Students, who are with the program for six years from 7th through 12th grade, commit annually to 300+ hours of program learning time in addition to their typical school hours. By cultivating student mastery in STEM subjects and in key skill areas, the program prepares students for college and empowers them to pursue their passions; so that they may become the well-rounded leaders of the future. The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute is made possible by the strong partnership between Silicon Valley Education Foundation, 49ers Foundation, Chevron, and the Santa Clara Unified School District.
