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 integrated, which is the reason I came here in the first place. I wanted to see how two subjects so seemingly different, yet ones that I both loved equally, could somehow be connected. Seeing all this art (like Victoria’s simulations, some of the coolest things I have seen) inspired by science and molecules was both crazy and amazing. These stimulations were definitely an unexpected part of this program, yet one that I truly enjoyed. It was so unique and fun.
I also loved learning about nanotechnology. I came to this program for science and art, but I really had no idea what nanotechnology was. It was really interesting to learn about the current state of science, research and innovation. I learned about all this new technology, both for entertainment and medical purposes that I had no idea existed.
From this program, I really got a new perspective on science, art, innovation, and creativity. I learned a little about myself and what I would like to pursue in the future, and the ways in which I can pursue both things I love instead of having to choose.
Also, I’ve learned so much from being here, and it was really beneficial to explore UCLA so I could learn about one of the schools that I plan to apply to and would definitely like to attend. Perhaps I may eventually find the time and opportunity to use the gym, go around Westwood more, and explore some new buildings. (Hopefully I get in, fingers crossed!)
Alas, today is the last (full) day of the program. How sad! Our project is almost done, and it’s coming along nicely. Prepared to be dazzled! (haha just kidding. maybe.) I’ll miss everyone here so much! So many good times. 🙂 We better keep in touch!
