1. Well regulation to ration water use a. There are over 200,000-600,000 unregulated private domestic wells in California (Jones, 2016). b. In 2014, “groundwater makes up 60 percent of California’s water use” (Governor Brown Changes, 2014).
Being raised in a very STEM-centric family, I began to realize the importance of STEM at an early age from spending time with my parents during school breaks. My mother is a professor of electrical engineering at Georgia Tech and my father is a civil engineer who works for Georgia Power. I played around with Scratch and small robots when I was very young, spending a lot of time at Georgia Tech. What we, humans, can create fascinates me. I
“Everyday at 11:30 you will be taken out of class and brought to this room. You are all here because you are at a more advanced level in math than your classmates. You are TAG students, Talented and Gifted. This is a little more challenging work, but it will prepare you with your transition to higher levels of education,” the teacher proclaimed with confidence.
Jeffrey Mervis interviewed educators about their efforts to improve undergraduate STEM education. Daniel Goroff, a mathematician at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California, tells his students, “Science is done in connected communities rather than
Academics have been my primary strength throughout my high school career. Since Grade 9, I have maintained an average over 95%, thus receiving Silver Medal every year; my final graduating average will most likely be 96.2%. My scholarly success is illustrated in the high number of subject awards I have received - ten awards in three years. In addition, I have competed in various math and computing contests, such as the Galois, for which I placed first in the school, and the AMC 12B, as well as the University of Toronto Biology Competition.
Luis has been one of the best students in my 16 year career and possibly in the whole history of Irving High School. He is truly one of the finest examples of a well-rounded student that any teacher can ever encounter. As his AP Statistics and AP Calculus BC teacher, I been able to see multiple examples of Luis’s talents and abilities. Even up to this day, Luis does not stop surprising me with his diligence and persistence. Although I’m only his math teacher, I know that Luis has been a highly successful student throughout his high school career in a wide arrange of subjects. From either math, to science, to art, to English, Luis has always risen to the top of the class and performed his best in every activity and test given to him. Luis is one of those few
Dear [Name], I came across your name on the SCA governance page and saw that you were the president in [State] for SCA.
To begin this letter, I would like to thank you for donating prayer and money to support Diamond Willow Ministries. You were very much a huge part of my recent trip there, as well as the boys camp that took place through the ministry.
I hope this message finds you well. I'd like to begin this letter off topic and take the opportunity to thank you for your efforts in health care reform. The greatest nation this world has ever known has an embarrassing health care system. It's a personal desire to see that no one's life is put in jeopardy due to financial means. My effort in contacting you today is in regards to something I fear desperately as I watch it unfold. It's a touchy subject that I personally do not like to debate or discuss with others. The last thing I ever want is to be considered an advocate of a policy or practice that ultimately would be discriminatory to another group of citizens. But unfortunately, I cannot agree with the new idea of integrating women into
This event was inspired by the desire to create something to invite the rest of campus can come to.
The primary goal The primary goal of this project was to examine the math bowl and try to improve upon it. After three years of being a member of the Montana tech math club I was given the opportunity to run it. So, with the resources available to the math club, I attempted to organize and promote another math bowl completions. Through running this event I hoped to gain insight on short coming that the math club faced. One of these was the lack of participation from the math club members.
Earning this Top Scholar award isn’t easy; it takes true dedication to your studies. Throughout my fifth-grade year, there were
“First in State and District, the Lone Star Academic Challenge Champion is….Richland Elementary School!” Cheers and claps erupt through the crowd and I feel my heart pound. A ringing resounds through my head as everything slows down. I feel my body being dragged up the stairs by my teacher. A
First of all I would like to introduce myself, I'm Matthew Jurczykowski. And I Am currently in the 8th grade. Speaking of 8th grade this letter is one of our projects the goal is to write someone only a persuasive letter asking for someone to do something for you. So
The National Math Festival in Washington, DC was a particular success. JRMF organized one of their most popular exhibit halls. We invited four other partner organizations to contribute activities, and over 400 parents, children and professionals attended. Feedback was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. In the coming year, we plan to exhibit at the MAA/AMS
