| Q2 How did the Science Fair change your life? |
| It entirely changed the course of my life and career through showing me what research could be. It allowed me to succeed and continue through STEM in college and graduate school. |
| Q3 What did you like the most about the Science Fair? |

| Q5 Any specific advice on becoming involved in Science and Engineering? |
| Reach out! It may seem unlikely that you can get help, resources, or advising from adults working in science, but there is a good chance that if you send an email, they will do their best to help you succeed! |
