For this upcoming summer, I plan on volunteering at the Pediatric Playroom of UNC Children’s Hospital and interning at either a psychology or cellular biology lab. In the psychology lab, I would work on research regarding political intolerance. In the cellular biology lab, I would participate in a research project that studies cell-to-cell variability via signaling mechanisms. Because of its groundbreaking research, STEM strongly appeals to me. Researchers are constantly discovering new concepts and theories while building upon and modifying old concepts made by our forerunners. With each passing year, great strides towards technological advancement are made. For instance, scientists successful growth of a functional, artificial embryo in
As I mentioned in my first essay, I wish to pursue a career in either the medical field or technologies that contribute to the medical field. Both interests deal directly with STEM. STEM is a gateway for me to live my dreams and succeed in a field that is difficult to enter without the correct steps taken and references known. Majoring in STEM would provide me the education and contacts needs to enter the medical or technological field at an advantage. I believe that STEM is truly a resource that allows students to focus on their studies more intently and unearth his/her passions in an academic world. For myself personally, STEM would help me to narrow down the fields of medicine and technology to the precise profession that suits my interests. Likewise, in a world that is creating new careers daily, STEM is one of the few pathways that adapts to the growing diversity of options, and facilitates ubiquitous knowledge for success no matter the circumstance. To me, that means that I can reach my hand into the currently unknown world and create my own course of action with certainty that I will meet success along my way. There is no better way to enjoy life, than to find a passion and chase after it, and I conclude that STEM will allow me to do
Observation: Yesterday, in the morning, I was sitting on the floor, pretending that I was cooking something on the pot as I stir. “Child A” saw what I was doing and walked towards me. “Child A, come and see what I am cooking”, I said. She took the saucepan with the lid that was on the stove, sat down on the floor and put the saucepan down. She held on to the lid, opened it and closed it. I handed her the spoon that I was using and I took the pot and the spatula and showed her how to stir. “This is how we stir, “Child A”, I said. She started pounding the saucepan using the spoon that I gave her, making sounds. “Child B” heard the sound that “Child A” was making and saw what we are doing. “Child B” was looking at the pot and the saucepan that was on the floor as she crawls toward us. She sat on the floor beside me and opened and closed the pot twice. I opened my eyes wide and smiled, “Wow ‘Child B’ you are making sounds!”, I said. “Child B” looked at me and smiled back. I gave her the spatula and assisted her hand on how to stir. I took the kettle and the cups and put it on the floor. I sang, “This is the way we pour our drink” and pretended that I was from the cup. “Child A” took the other cup and drank from it. “Uh- oh! Out of your mouth, “Child A”, I said. Later that day, after their lunch, “Child C” went to the dramatic area and played with the kitchenware. I went to her and sang, “This is the way we stir our food” as I use the spoon to stir. She moved her head from left

When it comes to STEM, the things that STEMulate my mind are the things that have to do with science and math. I really like the science part of STEM because it leaves me to explore, and I get to work hands on pretty much all of the time. I like the math portion of STEM because there really isn’t a time in my math class where we stop learning, and the effect of that is that I never stop thinking and I love it when I don’t stop thinking. I honestly enjoy working with the people at my tables in math and science class to build and solve everything, it gives me a chance to learn more about them and myself. I love my team members and even though I am a little “harsh” when it comes to working on and completing projects at times, I love how much I learn from and about them, when I
I get excited when I get to put my personal experience into a project or assignment. For science, I love studying about medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals. There are a lot of technology aspects that I enjoy but my favorite is the social media services. I think it’s great that there is such a big outlet out there that provides us with communication all around the world. Another aspect of science that I enjoy is makeup and cosmetology.
From birth to two years your child will start to crawl and start to try pick up their toys. Your child will start to explore using their hands they enjoy toys that are bright and colourful they like toys that make noises such as rattle and squeaky teddies. Children around this age start to show their skills using exploratory play. This type of play includes smell, touch and taste. They start to learn the texture and function of objects all around them. One of the reasons why your child plays with these sort of toys is because they provide a way to have fun and in many cases have an educational purpose. Toys such as touch and feel books provide an easier key of understanding.
The subject I am most intrigued to study is chemistry. Even before going into AP Chem my Junior year, I was intrigued with the subject. From going mad scientist with baking soda and vinegar to subscribing to chemistry YouTube channels. I guess this course tapped into my subconscious desire to know the unknown. Chemistry has taught me that there is so much more to our complex world, understanding that even the most straightforward of things can be elaborate. In this science I find my motivation to push the boundaries of my education.
On Saturday, March 11, 2017, I had the privilege of revisiting the National Children’s Home. The purpose was to observe and interact with both staff and children and learn how to care for them. Upon arrival, the director was sitting in a chair observing a volunteer that was teaching the children to paint.
STEM has made a major impact on me this year. It has taught me many important life skills that I will need in the future, from how to change a drill bit to how to make a hydroponics system. One very important skill was problem solving. For example, if a piece of wood was cut the wrong way we would have to figure out how to make do of it. This is an important life skill because not everything will end up going perfect and you will need to know how to fix it. Another skill I learned from STEM is how to use a bunch of different tools. I learned how to use a circular saw, miter saw, table saw, and many more. This would be important because if I ever need to fix anything in the future I will know how to use the tools to fix it. As you can see, STEM has taught me many different life skills that I will need in life.
Mechanical engineering is something that has always interest me for the reason being that you can create ultimate robots that have abilities that the human body can not posses. Such as sticking to walls just like a geico. This gives the viewer a new understanding of how earth is the biggest and eldest engineer there is, but that engineers can get an inspiration with animals or things that are around us. This inspires not only those who created
In the centre, it appears most areas are safe. For example, the shelf toys area is safe for toddlers because it is organized and in reach of children. As a result, children do not have to reach or climb high to get their toys. Also, all of the furniture, aside from the couch, is child sized. This means that children can easily and safely get on and off the furniture without running the risk of falling off from a great height.The space in general looks organized and uncluttered, resulting in an area that allows movement and free play without any major safety concerns.
To begin with, I want to be apart of the STEM program because it is a challenging program that will further help me in my education. In school we learn all these subjects, however we don't know how we will be able to use all those subjects together. The STEM program will require you to use all the subjects such as Science, technology, engineering, and math to create a solution. Also, the STEM program will help me because, you are required to test your knowledge and work together and it tests the way you think
Is your playground safe? Kids are only just developing their sense of balance and motor skills, so playset safety is an absolute must for every backyard or park. Today, Sweetland Outdoor in Alpharetta, GA will go over the basics:
On this date worker visited Eldridge Children's Home, for the purpose of assessing Mr. Timothy Mathews for services. Mr. Mathews has lived at the Children's Home for three years. He will graduate from Carbon Hill High School on May 20, 2016 and after graduation, Mr. Mathews will no longer be able to stay at the Children's Home. Mandy Mitchell, director of childcare has agreed to allow Mr. Mathews to remain at the home until August.
I love research, looking at the results of an experiment for the first time and knowing that my data, this newly found piece of information, is furthering our knowledge in a small area of science is an unutterable experience. My current major Health and Wellness consists of different aspects of science, health and wellness of everyday life. I was given the opportunity in high school to intern at the renowned New York
