Posted by & filed under eSTEM.

An interesting read about where art and science meet…

Last fall RISD STEAM began at the student club fair with just a table, a poster and a promise to expose students to entirely new ideas. Sarah Pease 13 FD, founder and current leader of the club, sat in her folding chair and explainedSTEM to STEAM to curious students, letting them know that it’s a RISD-led initiative advocate for adding art and design thinking to the current federal emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education and research (STEM + Art = STEAM).

HACU conference, here we come!

Posted by & filed under HACU.

Finally finished packing and now I eagerly wait for what tomorrow will bring! This will be the first time I have ever been to Washington D.C. and I am so excited to meet new people and possibly go sightseeing. Though I do not know what the HACU trip will be like, I have feeling this will be a good growing experience for us. I personally can’t wait to see all the science internships and research opportunities the HACU 2012 conference has to offer.

Goodbye Los Angeles, hello Washington D.C.!

An adventure awaits

Posted by & filed under HACU.

I would have never guessed that I would be going on a trip like this one,
not only is it in Washington D.C. but it’s the Annual HACU conference!! I
will definitely keep an open mind an a confident attitude. I hope to meet
like minded individuals, as well as network with professionals who want to
help students out. But there is much to be gained; I wouldn’t know where to
start!

The butterflies are kicking in!

My excitement is the only thing keeping me going during this exhausting week.

This weekend is going to be an amazing experience and hopefully some of come back with some internship opportunities. It looks like our days are fully planned with fun and interesting events, which is why I plan to do chemistry homework non stop on the plane rides there and back!

It’s almost here!
