I created this slideshow to help detail my internship and the activities I participate in there to young middle schoolers at Drew Charter School to show how I managed to start an internship at Georgia Tech, show what I've been doing at my internship, and hopefully inspire them to try to find an engineering internship for themselves.
This is my poster on my project, 'Characterizing Known and Novel Pol III Promotors with CRISPR Technology in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae'. This Poster shows a comprehensive look at the entire project, beginning with prior research, and ending with my results and conclusions.
I'm very grateful to have had the experience to do this internship, and I'm excited for next year. I've had previous experiences with STEM projects outside of school(specifically at i-STEM Work at Morehouse College), but this experience has gone above and beyond. Not just in terms of what I've been able to learn, but also with the connections that I've been able to make and develop as the year has gone by. My goal for the Project Engages internship at the beginning was to explore STEM careers, and what I'd like to do after high school. I can safely now say that the Project Engages internship has allowed me to explore these careers, giving me a sample of what it's like to work in a wet lab as a Biomedical Engineer, and has raised my level of excitement and interest in STEM careers.
