Report to Community was a huge SUCCESS!!

Last night the BAHIA students presented their research projects at the San Diego Natural History Museum. I must say, those 21 high school students far surpass the skill level of many college students when it comes to presenting. Although they were justifiably nervous about presenting in front of hundreds of people-- they walked up to the stage with the confidence the poise of an experienced scientist. 

In the few weeks that I worked with these students, I saw tremendous growth, not only as scientists but as people in general. While adhering to the rigid and arduous schedule of the program they learned to rely on each other to complete tasks, and in the process, built strong bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime. I cannot wait to see where life takes these students, I have no doubt they have bright future ahead.
