Yeah, I know there are going to be many other slices on the field trip, but I thought I wanted to share my thoughts on it.
So today half the freshman class went to the Monmouth Junior Science Symposium, an event held annually at the Monmouth University. Lasting for two days, a total of ten students showcase their research projects through a PowerPoint presentation. Today five students presented; tomorrow the other half of the freshman class will view the last five.
Out of five, two of the students who presented are High Tech students. I was really impressed with all of the projects overall, but I found the High Tech ones especially intriguing. I'm not being biased towards the schools that the presenters go to. It's just that the other three people's projects had relatively the same concept, which was finding ways to prevent/treat diseases (two of them were on lung cancer and one was on Alzheimer's). But the two students from my school had projects on butterfly wing colors and internet censorship! How cool is that?
A great highlight of the trip was the doughnuts. Our software apps teacher, Mr. B, gave us specific instructions on our schedule:
"So when you go in, make sure you sit to the far right of the auditorium. That way, when break time starts, we are the first in line for the doughnuts. We need to make sure we have maximum doughnut selection."
A kid on the bus shouted out, "It's all about quality, not quantity!"
"Exactly." Mr. B nodded.
And Mrs. Gross, our English teacher, remarked, "And that's why we have Mr. B chaperone our trips; so we can get the best doughnuts."
