“I learned new lab techniques as
well as worked on the project inde-
pendently. I was able to complete my
own experiments and when I had
questions or hit a snag, my
mentor was available to help.”
“It has influenced me to take an
additional science course at my
university as well as has helped
me create ideas for my senior
project... the environment of the
course created learning.”
