Blog 10: Senior Project Update

(1) What are you currently doing in your independent component? 

• For my independent component I am currently volunteering at the YMCA daycare in Pomona. 

(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project?  The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November.  Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.

• I have been researching tests used to diagnose children and individuals that not only help me answer my EQ for my senior project but also helps me better my science fair component by being able to use the best diagnostic test I can making my science fair component more accurate.

(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did.  For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched. 

• I just did an update on my independent component which is a quick log of what Brittany and I did at the YMCA on our first day there. You can view this if you click here.
