We spent our summer working with our mentors and presented our work to our classmates.
We continued working in our labs while some of us applied to different science competitions.
Then, we began drafting our project proposals or our research papers, with the help of our teachers and the mentorship of the 12th Graders
We finalized our project proposals or papers and began preparing for the 2022 Independent Science Research Symposium.
We are looking forward to continuing our lab work this summer.
