After lunch, I was convinced to come back because I not ony learned how to build molecules, I learned hot to use the Microsoft Excel program spreadsheet. I leaarned to type formulas in, It was very intriguing. I have to say, I learned to make a connection between baking a cake and building a molecule. The process, etc.. GOOD JOB :) Dora

Amy-Today's class was a lot of fun. We learned how to use Galaxee. We then used Stella to figure a cofee problem out. I learned a lot. IT was fun!!!!!1

• I really liked this week. I am definitely coming back. Iespecially liked the engineering. Also Wledeh was a really good intern. Also Jenna and Albert. Emily

Today we did a reaal trial. It was really fun. I am really glad I came and since I am coming next week (and the week after next), I can't wait. Thank you for providing these opprotunities to learn about science. -Sophia

I think that overall the project experience was a great success becasue it made me think about things outside of a 2-dimensional box and more situations that deal with the real world. I hope that they will have a class like this next year because I enjoyed it greatly! Monte

• The last day at last! I'm definitely going to miss the Shodor Foundation. I guess I'll just have to come back next year! We finished and resented our presentations this afternoon. Until next year, au revoir! Samantha

Interns

• Middle School through Undergraduate

• We don’t recruit them.

Interns work along side the scientists.

• Interns learn the skills that enabled them to contribute in meaningful ways.

• They work on our regular research and development grants and contracts in national research projects.

• They are supported in paid positions.

• SUCCEED student interns have helped create Interactivate, our award-winning interactive math and science explorations.

• They have helped to build the Shodor website cited as "Best of the Web in Science" by Forbes Magazine alongside NASA and the Smithsonian.
