What is Galeega?

Galeega is a non-profit that fosters collaboration projects. Any project in any field can be posted, and this will allow anyone from any background to join the project team. There is no set format or set # of participants: everything is up to you! We want Galeega to be centered around the creators and innovators. Take new steps, find new projects, and create new inventions!

About the founder

Hey! I'm Nalini Dutt and I am currently a senior at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.

​

I have always been fond of using creativity as well as collaboration in any activity. A distinct memory I recall is when I participated in the MaPP competition (Mathematical Puzzle Programs) during my 9th grade. I formed a team of 7 people from my high school and it was our first time being part of the event. Although from the outside it may have seen like chaos with papers flying, white boards constantly being drawn on, the intense thinking all of us put in created an environment where all of us were rushing with creativity and passion. Being part of that team made me realize how even though many of us were not familiar with each other, we collaborated with the same goal: this leading us to win 3rd place.
