Workshop:
Research Title:
College Admitted:
Anita attended a Eureka summer workshop, completing a research project with a Stanford University Professor of Classics. Her research project focused on studying an ancient Roman surveying tool. Through her research, Anita was able to connect the dots between ancient and modern engineering methodologies.
Anita is very involved at her high school, participating in various extracurricular activities. She is well-recognized at her school and her efforts led her to receive an Early Decision admission offer to Columbia University. In her interview with Eureka, she explains how studying at the Eureka Program had improved her college application.

Workshop:
Wearable Devices and Human Healthy Behaviors
Research Title:
High-expectation comments increase students’ mental activity and confidence in the test
College Admitted:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Susan attended a Eureka Technology Workshop, working with a Dartmouth Professor of Computer Science. Her research project focused on how a teacher's expectations and prior comments can affect a student's mental activity and confidence when taking a test.
Susan spends her spare time learning to write code and develop algorithms in various programming languages to help her learn more about neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's. Her efforts have led her to be nationally recognized as a 2022 Regeneron Science Talent Search Scholar. She was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and plans to study neuroscience, computer science, and perhaps biomedical engineering. (Source)
Best wishes for your future endeavors, Susan!
