Sampriti Bhattacharya who made 'flying boat' had failed in physics

Navier's Sampriti Bhattacharyya who built a 'flying boat' had failed in physics. She was an average student from Kolkata and was told by her teacher to become a 'housewife' instead. She was rejected from 539 internships but was accepted by Fermilab as a research assistant. She later also interned at NASA for their robotics and space exploration departments.
