Today was, in my opinion, the most entertaining and educational day of the program. As a hands-on learner myself, I prefer to stand up and do something rather than be blasted with facts. I realize that facts are a necessity to learn, but there are different methods of acquiring these facts. And, the way that […]
The final day before presentations!!!! The day with a quick lecture telling us about how today was the final day we had to work on our project. We had an extremely talented man come and shoot the starting gun. Apparently, he had just come back from signing a book with Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein’s […]
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 […]
Today was the last day of camp, and I can’t believe it is already over. I feel like I just got here about 3 days ago. I had no idea what to expect when I came into this program and I had no idea what nanotechnology even was. Now that I’ve experienced these new ideas […]

The circular design is futuristic and intriguing. The hedges are arrayed in concentric circles with breaks and extra lines like a maze. There are three surrounded […]
Overall in this course i learned how closely art and science are connected. People never usually consider this true, but after this course i can now see. What people usually connect is the coralation between science and technology, but now i can connect the element of art into it also. I learned that every time […]
For our midterm we came up with multiple ideas. We whittled them down to one. Our idea was that we would create robots that could enter a persons musculature and constantly make micro tears in the muscles to increase muscle mass steadily without the need to work out. From this idea we came up with […]
Over these past two weeks, I have learned so many new things. Before coming to this program I had no idea what nanotechnology was and how it is being used in the world today. It was also very interesting to see how the different professors and instructors have used nanotechnology. I was especially amazed by […]
Today we watched the butterfly effect. The movie was all about cause and effect relationships resulting in ways that are unexpected or startling. These effects are shown in the life of the main character who has the power to go back in time and change his past. Consequently he has the power to change the […]
