Her passion for designing and engineering things was first showcased when as a child she produced impressive LEGO structures. She built complex creations that were hard to achieve for such a young person such as the Taj Mahal, the Disney castle, This last project was Wicker's favorite and she spent 14 to 15 hours over two days completing it. She barely slept as she was so dedicated to finishing the lofty project.
Alena's mother said she felt compelled to support her daughter's early talents. “She just had a gift for numbers and LEGOs and science so I started nurturing that gift," said Daphne McQuarter. “At 4 years old she said, ‘I’m going to work at NASA and I’m going to go up there.’ She would point to the stars.
