"...enrolled in the Advanced Placement Research class. In this course, we are required to design, plan, and conduct a year-long research study. Based on my interest in toy design and my advocacy for women in the STEM fields, my study focuses on identifying a potential relationship between the exposure to engineering toys and young girls' interests in STEM."
