Week 1 Young Scholars PATHS UP Program - Lucas Byars

 Welcome to my first blog! My name is Lucas Byars and I am currently in the Young Scholars PATHS-UP program that is currently being administered by Rice University. I will be updating my blog every Thursday starting today for the next two weeks and giving my input on some of the questions that I found to be important throughout this experience. 

 I came in a little later than most of the other students in this program so I didn't find out I was going to be able to come to this program until Tuesday night. I had no idea what to expect however I knew to keep an open mind about everything since I will be going to college soon and needed as much experience in Computer Science as I could get before graduating. 

 Coming into this I thought there was a chance I might get a mentor like my old Computer Science teacher in high school who didn't know how to teach very well and made it feel like a self taught class, however as soon as I came into this program the professor was very nice and also patient with the students taking this program. I believe that the research project we were given isn't that hard considering the time frame we were given to this complete it because we also may receive help from others on it if need be. 

 I'm most looking forward to further developing my skills in Computer Science as well as learn more about the program since I haven't gotten to spend that much time in the lab programming and working on the smart watch.
