Week 3: Young Scholars PATHS-UP, Isabelle C

     I am very familiar with the process of making a research presentation due to my extensive experience with presenting various research projects for school. However, in this presentation I struggled with balancing each slide. Specifically, any slides where I wanted to include snips of my code to support my points. I also struggled with video implementation, but I managed to find a solution by creating replaying GIFs of my work to play on slides instead of having a video I had to play. While I'm not sure if I'm fully satisfied with how I formatted any slides that include code, I am very happy with the presentation overall. Through the process of making this presentation I learned how easy it it to turn a video into a GIF and how effective simple bullet points are on slides. 

    When returning to school, I plan to bring back all of the information regarding health and its overlaps with computer science to possibly further explore that niche. I also plan to further utilize my new knowledge of Arduinos, wearables, C++ and GIF creation. While participating in this program I have told friends about my experience and I plan to continue to talk about my time here. My school is very interested in research and project-based learning, so informing some teachers about opportunities like this so they can recommend it to other students is highly encouraged. 

    For the foreseeable future plan to only passively expand on the concepts I've learned over the summer, but using the information I have learned during the school year or applying it in other ways is something I look forward to. The skills learned through this experience have multiple different possible applications and I plan to experiment with a handful of those applications. I'm still unsure about what career path suits me, but what I've learned here defiantly has me more interested in health and computer science.
