]]>The family previously lived in Aleppo, a Syrian city which has been torn by war. She lived together with her mother Ani, father Antaranik, and older sister, Meghri. Both girls earned their high school diplomas during the Syrian war, with exploding bombs not far from their school.
“In Grade 10, the big bombs started, by Grade 11, we were without electricity or running water or internet. Some people started to leave but we didn’t know how to get out of Aleppo. We didn’t know who was on the road waiting to kidnap us. Once the missiles started falling, we didn’t know where they were coming from or where they’d land,” Bakarian shared.
Fast-forward 36 months, she is currently studying aerospace engineering in Montreal’s Concordia University, working both in Bombardier Aerospace and Stratos Aviation (a small aviation and flight simulation company), where she’s co-created her invention called The Ventus – a 5-volt accessory charger for Cessna airplanes that runs off the aircraft’s air vents and cools the air by compressing it.
The prototype will probably become an important accessory device for pilots who rely on smartphones and tablets for aviation computation. ““I like clean energy, solar power, wind power, so we developed it further to add onto the charger idea,” she says. “I spent my summer designing, drawing and testing until it worked.”
