Week 2 - Atticus

Posting on behalf of Atticus:


1. My first thoughts on the research projects that we have been doing are that they are extremely fun. My favorite research project so far is the tiny watch because it is so fun to play around with the already coded systems like GPS, PulseOX, and the Bluetooth screen. My favorite so far is the bluetooth screen and code because it was the most complex. The code allowed me to connect with my phone and press buttons to interact with the screen itself. I could get notifications and even tell the time without having to look at my phone. 

2. I am looking forward to finishing the final project for week 3. Steven and I have been planning on creating a song for the final project. This song will consist of at least 128 notes on at least 3 speakers. We will even work on the project together over the weekend, but unfortunately we won't be able to test it without the actual hardware. 

3. The tour was very entertaining. It was crazy to see just how big the whole area was and how clean it was. We even went into a room with 0 particles inside it. This picture attached is just a taste of how big it was.

Week 1: Anagha

 1) To prepare for the Young Scholars Program, I enrolled in some classes to introduce myself to concepts of physiology and the integration  of engineering techniques in the healthcare realm, as well as revisiting basics of coding and physics concepts. 2) My first thoughts about the research projects that I was assigned was overall excitement about the opportunity and the materials, software, and hardware and the chance to use my creativity to explore new technologies. My mentors are very knowledgeable and I love hearing about their stories and journeys in their own careers, which helps to serve as a role model for my own. 3) For week 2, I am looking forward to continuing my research project and learning new things about digital health and engineering, as well as exploring the campus, materials, and opportunities for me to explore my future. 4) I am so interested to go explore the physics building, Brockman Hall! Definitely one of my favorites from the tour!

Week 1 - Justin

What were some things you did to prepare for the Young Scholars Program? When I first knew I got into the Young Scholars program, I wanted to learn more about what we might cover in the camp, so I looked at what PATHS-UP was and read some info on what it stood for. I also prepared for the Young Scholars Program by reading the public info page where you apply and the emails sent out regarding directions and what to bring. As I was excited but scared for the camp on the first day, I spent an hour packing my bag with things I might need, from water to a laptop. What are your first thoughts on the projects that you have been working on? The projects we are learning about are all very interesting, but new. As I have always stayed in the realm of computer science, I never touched on any of the engineering portions we cover, such as building circuits, schematics, the Arduino, and the smartwatch assembly. It felt really reminiscent of Legos, which I liked a lot as a child, drawing that part of...
