The following (emails) were written by members of the Medicine and the Biosciences during the second day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
Today I understood STELLA better and the way it works. The model that was most exciting was the heart. These programs are very educationa and fun.
Today was fun, and educational, because we learned how to do a model of the heart, it was fun to play around with a fictional heart. Although one of our models didn't work it was a very good day.
Today was my first day at Shodor's camp. The beginning was a little boring, because I was lost most of the time. But within the first hour I was catching on, and the enjoyment increased. The afternoon was fun, but also frustrating, because we could not get the project to work.
Day two of my workhop and dmy intreset is still captured. The amazing program STELLA makes my mind wonder. It really takes Medicine and Biosciences to a whole nother 2-D level. Namy times today I put myself in the seat of many great scuientists and compared our many notes and theories. Not only has it expanded my knowledge but taken way of my imagination as well. Now so many things in my world have been made less complex.
Today was a very succeful day, in that I learned alot, and I completed most of the tasks given to me. I feel good about todsay because I am leaving with more confidence in my own skill, to be able to take a situation and/or problem and put mathematical equations on a computer. i will really need confidence in the coming days to be able to go at my project full steam ahead.
This is great! I'm doing so much with STELLA and case studies. I'm learning alot and the teachers are making it fun. Lunch was good. I forgot to mention about the cool rope tricks yesterday. Making models is fun and educational. I hope you have enjoyed my report. Have a great day!
