Week of 5/14/17

Today was Signature Day! All of the STEM interns and Signature creators presented their projects to a crowd of students, faculty, grandparents, and special friends. It was a lot of fun to show everyone the results of my research and help them understand my project.

I presented at 9:00 in the morning to a large crowd crammed into Snell 102. After Nana and Michaela finished summing up their projects, I got up to give my presentation. Everything went smoothly, and I got a lot of great questions afterward!

This entire year has been incredible. I have loved working at RPI in the CBIS High School Scholars Program. Yi and Dr. Royer are both brilliant and kind people, and their guidance and wisdom have really enriched my senior year.

If any Emma students (current or prospective) are reading this post, I hope you strongly consider doing a STEM internship as soon as you are able to. It was so much fun to obtain so much knowledge and lab experience. It definitely made senior year much more enjoyable!

Thank you to everyone who has helped me move forward with this project. I want to give particular mention to Yi, Dr. Royer, Ms. Mossop, Ms. Biggins, Mr. Calos, the shuttle drivers and to all the people who made little contributions to my experience along the way. Thank you!
