Words of Wisdom from Those Who've Been There

Pick a project that you want to work on, not one that your home mentor wants you to work on.

Robert

Watch and learn. There will be plenty of time to accomplish things so don't stress out. Just work on one thing at a time and eventually you will get somewhere. And probably the most important thing, don't procrastinate. This time is valuable and you will be more proud of yourself at the end of the summer if you make use of all of it.

[You] are about to have a wonderful summer full of science and sunshine. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that [you] should feel free to come to any of us (staff or students) with any wants or needs. I'm sure this summer will be great!
Danielle

[You] should definately bring along something [you] enjoy doing, other than activities on the computer, a musical instrument for example. Since virtually all of the work we do involves computers, extra-curricular activities on the computers lose their fun value.
