Today was a day to get acquainted with the place we will be residing in for the next two weeks. We toured the areas we would be working in, the brand new California Nano Systems Institute, and met our counselors and group members. After we were divided based on our questionnaire answers we turned in […]
This SciArt program has been an amazing experience, providing both the educational and college-like experience. I came to this program liking both science and art (I plan to pursue engineering but I also have a love and appreciation for art like photography and graphic design). This program really taught me how the two can be […]
For the last day of the week, things did not turn out too bad, nor did they exactly turn out good. The day started out with a lecture by Victoria which turned out to be more of a biography and I am not much of a person who likes to listen to someone else’s life […]
Today we had another lecture given by my very own counselors, Rita and Gao. They talked to us about shape and how it was applied to different aspects of the world as we know it. The categories within shape were nature, engineering, and art. The most important thing that I absorbed from the lecture was […]
Today was another explorative day at CNSI. One of the lectures I found interesting was the one on light and how there were different perceptions on it as the study began to grow. The lecture then shifted to a more art related matter involving paintings and the substances used to create and preserve them. This […]
Today was the day that I really got a feel of how the rest of the camp would be like and would be able to develop a more comfort feel. After falling asleep on almost every lecture the past two days, I figured it would continue until the end of the program. Although they all […]
The past two weeks here at Sci |Art Camp have flown by so quickly. Tomorrow I will leave this place with a bounty full of new knowledge and a much more open mind about the connection between Science and Art. I will apply the new things I learn when I return to school in the […]
“Sign up for a summer camp at UCLA or UCSD!” yelled my mom one December night. I somewhat reluctantly searched for a science/math/medical camp at the chosen colleges that I could attend without disrupting summer school or any other activities I would be having during the summer. Google Search: Sci|Art Nanolab Intrigued by the description […]
Friday was an interesting day just because it was our very own Victoria giving us our lecture. I really liked learning about how she started with her passions for the arts and science and somehow, along the way, ended up working in a field that incorporates both. Lucky girl. We also had our midterms […]
In Harry Potter, the term they use to describe the force that allows them to do so many amazing things and that powers their devices is referred to as magic. But what exactly is magic? Is it a mystical force? Or is it something so technologically advanced that we cannot hope to comprehend it at […]
