Second Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The second week we switched gears with what we were coding. This time we were adding the code for the sensors to make sure that the satellite will as a whole function properly and distribute the power evenly. This time we had to add code for the EPS sensors, which is the board in the […]
Spencer Keating: Environmental Engineering, Week Five
I cannot believe I only have one week of my internship left. To start the fifth week we continued trials of our CO2 bucket experiment. For the set of trails this week we used a trash can with the bottom removed instead of a five-gallon bucket. This is done to see if the difference between […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week 2
Our second week here was filled with many more specific tasks to take on. We were given a more in-depth look of Hydra, its functions and correlation with the XML coding that we are editing. We have also begun to create new additional functions to the code specific to the Maxwell satellite. Hilariously, we all […]
Alannah Wister: Marine Biology, Week Five
Rob Toonan got back from his trip Monday and after hearing how efficient I have been he gave me the day off. I was able to help my roommates with their projects and sunbathe on the beach for the rest of the day. Tuesday was exciting because we got to take a break from […]
First Week Aerospace Engineering – Aidan Kask
The first week at the Aerospace Engineering labs in CU Boulder was so interesting! We met our mentors, Andrew and Les, who showed us around and gave us a brief tour of the Engineering section on campus. After that, we went to the place we will work for the rest of our time: the conference […]
Miguel Ambriz Aerospace Engineering Week One
The first week for Aidan and I was a lot to take in. Our mentor, Andrew, dropped a ton of information about the satellite named Maxwell, it’s components, functions, and its operating system named Hydra, which is our primary project. What we have to do is make a copy of the code that we can […]
Ian Enkema | JIAM Labs | Week 1
For all that do not know me, I am Ian Enkema, a rising senior at Telluride High School. To start, let me thank Pinhead Institute for being a essential factor in securing my internship at the Joint Institute for Advanced Materials, and Cliff Hawks (CEO of Cherokee Farms) for coordinating and securing this opportunity and […]
Finn Doherty: Shark Lab, Week Two
This week I have been working on a couple different projects, which has led me to learning more about problem solving. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we feed the stingrays and shark. Round stingrays eat invertebrates such as worms, shrimp, amphipods, clams. The tanks need to be cleaned at least every other day. I have […]
Elizabeth Mueller: Historical Studies, Week Two
Week two for me happened to be a wild one at the museum. In the Entertainment department alone, we had 6 events: Sunday Swing, Stage Door Idol, Dine & Dance, the Bob Hope Foundation Movie Screenings, Best of Sinatra, and Stage Door Idol. I spent the entire week running to and fro making sure everything […]
Ry Gould Week 4
This week my lab received a shipment of new animals. We got 180 out bread (genetically diverse) rats. These rats will be run in similar experiments as have been preformed previously in the lab, but sense they are not in bread they will be useful for finding genetic markers that may be associated with addiction. […]
Tyler Kraft BioChemCore week 3
Our 3rd week at biochem core UCSD we continued to further explore different aspects of computational chemistry and more specifically look into what different properties of various proteins affect the effectiveness of different drugs. We were able to do this by studying the molecular dynamic simulations of these proteins and calculating things like the clustering of the similar movement […]
Karsen Henwood: Marine Biology, Week 4
I had a fabulous, rather different week. I had my normal schedule of Husbandry in the morning and Sea Camp in the afternoon. This week I learned some of the food prep, which includes peeling shrimp-heads and all. Now, I could feed the animals beginning to end all on my own! We also had a […]
