Accomplishment In The GMU STEM Camp

Decent Essays
If you were struck with an awful disease like Ebola, wouldn’t hearing that you have been cured, be a dream come true? STEM subjects challenge me to explore new things, understand natural events, and excite me to be an innovator. Who wouldn’t love the subject on which world progress depends on? My most important accomplishment is taking part in the GMU FOCUS STEM Camp. At this five-day camp, I learned new concepts in each STEM subject. I learned new topics in science, biology, geology, chemistry, forensic science, and physics. I really enjoyed the exposure to so many topics. On the second day, I learned about topics in technology like designing on the computer, being an innovator, circuits, cyber security, and more. On the third day, I learned

    Although you have to be 36 years old to legally become the president of the United States, I feel as if I’ve experienced an aspect of presidency in my fourteenth year of living. Of course, it is obvious that being president of my middle school’s National Junior Honor Society is nowhere near being the president of the United States. But in fact, my experience depicts a quite harrowing and concerning aspect of presidency. In an interwoven city and school, creating close relationships was inevitable.…

    Overall, I think the Corps in the Classroom campaign was a huge success. They had plenty of strengths within their campaign. For starters, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did a lot of research which consisted of both qualitative and quantitative data from the Equal Employment Opportunity report, which evaluated STEM involvement levels for that year. Not to mention their secondary research, which included reports from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, the National Academy of Sciences and others. Additionally, they had a well thought out plan that not only consisted of realistic and achievable objectives, but also well thought out tactics to support those objectives.…

    My most positive high school experience for me has to be when I was inducted into National Honor Society for my senior year. This was something that I has been striving to do since my freshman year after I received my first academic letter. But after our school decided to only allow seniors to be inducted, raised the GPA requirement, and reduced the amount of people that would be allowed to be inducted I wasn’t sure if my goal would still be attainable. But after three years of strenuous classes, constant volunteer service, and keeping my grades up I finally received an acceptance letter and was inducted into NHS where I am able to surround myself with others that have the same academic goals as…

    When first applying to my school’s chapter of the National Honor Society I thought little of it. It was a club that everyone applies to, and something my friends urged me to join. I was unsure if I even wanted to apply until the week before the deadline. Although stressful, I worked hard and was able to fill in the application, and turn in something I was proud of. After turning it in…

    Mission Of The STEM Fair

    • 311 Words

    The mission of the NEOHSTEM Alliance, as stated on their website, is to "promote and support K-12 activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Northeast Ohio. " The tradition of forcing students to participate in the STEM Fair has done nothing but contradict this mission; instead of "promot[ing] K-12 activities in STEM," it has bred a hatred towards science, and subsequently, a hatred towards the fantastic outcomes that STEM-related research can offer. As an avid science student who is currently enrolled in an Honors and AP science class as a sophomore, and is a leader of the school Science Olympiad team, I possess a love for science that I do not hold for much else. I have known since my elementary school years that…

    As I reflect on Bobbitt’s (2013) selection in The Curriculum Studies Reader, there are similarities to curriculum policies and procedures at OCTC, but there is also an omission of the human experience (Bobbitt) that is affecting retention of first-year STEM students. In Scientific Method in Curriculum-Making by Franklin Bobbitt, he provides an example of developing curriculum for vocational education, and this example mirrors the creation and continuation of programs of study at OCTC. According to Bobbitt, educators “set out to discover the major occupations” (p. 15) in the area, and this is the basis for STEM programs of study at OCTC. There must be available jobs in the State to justify implementing a program of study at OCTC (SC Technical…

    I want to become a physician-scientist because I want to work at the interface between basic science research, which has the power to elucidate new knowledge, and clinical medicine, which has the ability to translate scientific discoveries to a deliverable form that can directly help the patients in need. For three years, I studied the role of tumor microenvironment on breast cancer metastasis in Dr. Semenza’s laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As I studied the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor on integrin expression and subsequent cell motility, I learnt that cancer is a multi-faceted disease that consists of a web of multiple biological mechanisms as well as other arenas of science.

    Describe your educational and career goals and explain what or who has inspired or helped shape these goals. During my high school years, I recall working in the fields during vacation breaks with my mother harvesting tomatoes, picking up cherries, and pruning grape vines. Fascinating as it sounds, I was always intrigued to understand why fruits and vegetables spoil or often cause food poising in humans. Although, when I questioned my mother why these fruits spoil, she responded it was due to "little bugs," which was not a sufficient response.…

    In my first semester of college, I have been exposed to so much and I have learned so much. Learning Basic Medical Science has allowed me to learn a variety of new things that I had never even heard of before or done before like immunohistochemistry, solving case studies, and T1/T2 translational research. Immunohistochemistry was really interesting and complex. At first, I overlooked it because I thought it was my over my head and not applicable to me at the moment. Then, over time I noticed that we talked about it several class periods, so clearly it had some significance to us currently.…
