Ridgeite dreams big
Laura Laham is, according to her personal webpage, a dreamer and a doer. Even though she is relatively young, this Carnegie Mellon University student and Bay Ridge native is doing big things, both at school and in national competitions, making her native borough proud.
Last year, Laham, whose interests include mechanical and biomedical engineering, competed in the Disney Imagineering ImagiNations Design Competition. She and her team became semifinalists with their project based on the concept of futuristic entertainment for the inhabitants of a new colony on the moon.
As if being a semifinalist wasn’t impressive enough, this year, Laham’s team competed again and made it all the way to the Imagineering ImagiNations Design Competition finals in Glendale, California, where they ultimately took second place with their project entitled Legenda Emas at Jarkarta, Indonesia.
