Blog #7: Plans for Next Year and Highlights

As I finish off my high school career begin preparing for the next chapter of my life, I have began considering what I will do in that next chapter. I am excited to announce that next year I will be attending Johns Hopkins University. Though I am still considering what majors I will finalize, I'm planning to do a double major in Neuroscience and Computer Science in order to pursue a career in either Computational Neuroscience or Machine Learning Engineering. I plan to join clubs and organizations such as Science Olympiad and Agara Bio. I also hope to delve into research, specifically at the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. Reflecting on my last four years of engineering, there are a few projects that I'm quite proud of. The first project I was extremely proud of was the Rube Goldberg machine I constructed in tenth grade with some of my peers. After days of planning and prototyping, we were able to successfully record our design in action, one of my first functional projects in PLTW. Another example was the capstone project I made with another group of my peers. Though we weren't able to finish our capstone project, we still were able to create a functioning prototype and we hope to continue the project during college.
