I am an eleventh grade student at a private boarding school in New York
STEAM Internship 2017-2018 |
I am thankful for being chosen for a STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) internship this year. My internship at the State University of New York at Albany. There, I will research under a professor of biology for three hours every Tuesday.

I first became interested in neuroscience in middle school. In seventh grade, I did a science fair project where I examined how room color would affect a student's performance in the classroom. I was able to advance to the Massachusetts State Science Fair where I earned an honorable mention. Looking back, there are many changes I would make to the experiments. However, the experiments sparked my interest in neuroscience and allowed me to learn basic neuron structure that will help me as I continue my internship.
