Sarah Coston

Sarah Coston is a rising senior at Charlotte Latin School in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is a half Russian, half African American female with a passion for science and engineering. In addition to taking engineering classes at school, she participated in the eCybermission competition in middle school, volunteered at the engineering camps at school, and worked on an online MIT FabAcademy course. After dedicating herself and learning as much as she could, she reasoned that engineering can only make an impact if it can be used to benefit others. Therefore, the summer before her senior year, Sarah decided she wanted to extend her passion for engineering to entrepreneurship and start her own company to see how she could better improve my community. Sarah attended LaunchX in June of 2018 where she, along with her three teammates started a company called Straw’d that aims to combat the issue of drink spiking.
