STEM Matters Personal Statement

I became interested in the STEM camp because I believe this camp will benefit me an enormous deal in the future. Attending the camp will support my future academic goals. In college, I intend to specialize in science, math, and technology. The STEM camp will help develop my educational interests and provide a glimpse into what I can expect from studying the areas of math, science and technology and engineering. I know that my future career will involve knowledge in these subjects and I want to do everything possible to allow myself to be exposed to whatever educational opportunities that can help me develop these skills. I would also like to have an experience at UTRGV because it is one of my possible college choices at this

I’m interested in attending USNA Summer STEM because I have a strong interest in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I plan on attending the United States Naval Academy and graduate as a Nuclear Reactor Engineer and serve my country for life. I have made strong connections with the staff at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and want to make great connections with the staff, cadets, and shipmates I’d be working alongside with at the academy. I hope to serve my country with Honor, Courage, and Commitment in the STEM field of the U.S. Navy.

Thank you for your consideration for our grant proposal Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics (STEM) Improvement Project 2017. In 2016, the Juan Young Trust (JYT) helped fund Damascus Christian School (DCS) mobile computer cart with 30 chromebooks which allowed the intergration of more technology into our small school. This promoted an increase of student inquiry and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics (STEM) basics. Staff found school equipment outdated for the technology and difficult to encourage hands on interest without more relevant STEM improvements. DCS Administration would like to take the next step to further STEM education for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year, and has asked Damascus Christian Education Foundation (DCEF) to help fund a series of items aimed at meeting this goal.

This year, STEM is coming to Buena Vista University. The institution is going to host the Tech Trek camp in Iowa on July 9 to 15. The aim is to get young women to get interested in STEM.

The English novelist Graham Greene once said, “There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.” It is because I agree with Mr. Greene’s statement, that I wish to apply for the Building Leaders for Advancing Science and Technology (BLAST) Program this summer. Of all my many interests, it is hard to pinpoint just one idea dealing with science, mathematics and technology. There are plenty of chances for kids my age group to participate in other science camps and educational facilities for the summer, but out of all of the available camps, I believe this one is by far the best. The BLAST Program allow 8th and 9th graders to get involved in the world of science, mathematics and technology by using hands-on tactics, thereby helping those students who are eager to learn, absorb as much information as they possibly can. Being accepted into the BLAST Program would expand my knowledge, application skills and future

There are many reasons as to why I'm interested in the YWC. Firstly, I would like to better my occupational knowledge by using this opportunity to learn about all the career paths in the science department. I've learned over the years that even if you have an occupation plan, it always helps to learn about more jobs since as we grow as people, we may find our interests change with us. I feel that by attending the Princeton young women's conference, I'll get a better idea of what occupations are out there by talking with professionals and other young women of my age that will participate in this event. It will also allow me to get a better understanding of what jobs in the STEM field really entail. Another reason I would like to attend this

Becoming a member of the Engineering Magnet Program at Cedar Creek High School has been one of my major academic goals I would like to achieve for my high school years. The evidence of my interest in the Engineering Magnet Program is shown through my love for numbers, which has permitted me to achieve excellent grades in math; it has been easy and fun for me to understand the material we have been learning, and I simply enjoy math.

S.T.E.M. is a program that I would be honored to be a part of. I would like to show the academy why I am qualified to be involved, not why I ‘deserve' to associate with this NBTHS program. Science and engineering are fields that I have been intrigued by as a kid. Being the first generation born in the United States, my parents lectured me to do what makes me happy. I naturally tried all kinds of things such as doing at-home science labs and creating a book with a fill-in-the-blanks. As I got older, my interests focused more on science and mixing chemicals to see the outcomes. Although this may all sound clique, I am truthfully telling you my career choice. My parents realized my liking of the subject so they continued to fill me in on some career choices that were in the field. They talked about chemistry in the pharmaceutical area, but I took

Sciecnce has stimulated my imagination ever since i was in elementary school. I was always fascinated with the expriments and the fact that it was okay if the exprimient failed the frist few times. No matter what I was curious about the science behind everything. I would do my own expirements at my house in order to answer the questions that i had in my head. For example, I would see whats happens if a freeze something, or boil it, or even mix it with other sutff. I always had a question in my head and science was a way for me to get an answer. One of the reasons why i love science and a favorite reasons is because in science you can have mistakes and failures and learn from them.

In high school, I took several high level STEM classes that have not only prepared me for college, but have encouraged me to pursue a STEM career in the future. This includes Advanced Placement (A.P.) Calculus, A.P. Physics, A.P. Statistics, A.P. Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Biology. Although these classes were initially very challenging, as the course progressed my interests for these subjects grew and slowly my confidence as well. For me I enjoyed my biology and physics class the most. From learning about the parts of the cell in humans to learning how STEM cells could potentially replace tissue and regrow limbs, I was amazed at how scientists from around the world were able to make all these scientific discoveries and the possibilities

I am entering my second quarter at UC Santa Cruz as a sophomore, and a lot has happened. I have decided to change my major from Business Management Economics (BME) to Community Studies, and I am also thinking of doubling it with Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. I took some economic classes, and they weren’t as interesting as the other classes. I think I am more interested in Community Studies because of my Pacific Islander community on campus and back home. I am interested in helping students become aware of their individual agency and to motivate them in pursuing a higher education.

Consilience - The Journal of Sustainable Development will allow me to share my passion for building a sustainable world. As a youth ambassador for Plan International, I have become cognizant of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and how to accomplish them. In the global development club I run in my school, we are constantly searching of new ways to target different SDGs. We have organized projects and events relating to climate action, gender equality, clean water, sanitation, and quality education. At Columbia, I will be able to capitalize on my past experience to serve as a noteworthy voice in Consilience. To build a sustainable world, collaboration and global cooperation are essential. It is arduous to globally

I began my college studies directly out of high school but quickly dropped out due to outside circumstances. Over the years I have deeply regretted this choice and I have often considered going back to school, but, with a husband and children thought it to be an overwhelming task. About 5 years ago I did take two concurrent semesters of Spanish with the hopes to brush up on it from my high school years but found the time away from home made it too difficult to continue. My time was spread too thin by trying to balance my career, family and going to a traditional campus for my class. I have been working in my current field for more than 15 years now

I want to teach math in New York City because I will be able to communicate the significance of math in everyday life. The math that adults use to pay bills, manage their budgets, tax preparations, as well as other things are significant. Using real-life situations would capture a students’ attention since it is aligned with their interests. Depending on the grade level, students start to question the relevance of a subject to their future. I love the gratitude and appreciation students show when they succeed in math. As a person who grew up in NYC, I can provide guidance both in, and outside of the classroom. I am familiar with the many pitfalls that await students in this urban setting. I hope to inspire and become a role model to students. Excelling in math can lead to students exploring careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The Discovery Channel was my childhood. I spent hours upon hours watching shows about our world, with subjects ranging from the African savannah to architecture. That is perhaps why I have been sensitive to environmental issues from a young age – in fact, one of my father’s favorite ways to tease me was to tell me he was going to cut down the rainforest, to my vehement objection. This exposure to the Discovery Channel and other educational shows has shaped my interests due to said sensitivity. I am pursuing a career in materials science because of this influence, and it likewise influenced my search for a Capstone topic deeply. For our Introduction to Digital Media course in August term, we were required to create an infographic. As I struggled to find something to
