Hanan Abdelbagi

Hi, my name is Hanan Abdelbagi and I am a graduating member of the Washington-Liberty High School class of 2025. I plan to pursue a double major in computer science and linguistics. I have been working at Boolean Girl since the start of my senior year and I have enjoyed inspiring young girls to pursue computer science!

At WLHS, I am president of the Girls Who Code Club, Vice President of Muslims Student Association, and Vice President of the Arabic Honor Society. My passion for computer science led me to participate in programs, including hackathons and the Department of State’s National Security Language Initiative for Youth.

Roayba Adhi

Hi! My name is Roayba Adhi, and this is my second year at Boolean Girl. I’m a junior at Washington-Liberty High School who is interested in computer science, machine learning, and business. I first got into computer science in middle school, and have been coding ever since! I’m looking forward to becoming friends with all of the campers to make cool projects and spread my love for computers.

In my free time, I like to read, bake and decorate desserts, and try new foods, especially those that are spicy and savory! A fun fact about me is that I hopefully want to try skydiving and kitesurfing in the future!

I have a pit bull named Blue and I love to spend my days cuddling with her while reading a book. I was born in Mongolia but came to the United States when I was 5 and have been here since. I would love to travel to Mongolia again. I am the oldest sibling and I have a younger brother (4) and a younger sister (10).

Hi! My name is Infinity Bushby, and I’m thrilled to be part of Boolean Girl Camp this year! I’m proud to be NAF (National Academy Foundation) certified, having completed three rigorous pathways: Project Lead The Way (PLTW), the Academy of Information Technology (AOIT), and the Apprenticeship Pathway.

This fall, I’ll be heading to Penn State’s College of Engineering to major in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Outside the classroom, I stay active year-round as Captain of the Girls Varsity Cross Country team and a member of the Varsity Track & Field team. I also hold leadership roles in the National Honor Society and have dedicated many hours to community service.

I’m especially excited to create fun, inspiring projects with all of you! I’m passionate about encouraging girls to think creatively, confidently, and outside the box.
