After a LONG break...

Over the course of spring break, applying for Grace Hopper, and fixing up the website the blog has sort of fallen by the way side and been forgotten.  Here is all the updates....  We are redoing the website, yet again.  Our professor had many of her students review our website and from their feedback we are making some major changes to make it more eye pleasing, easier to use, more organized, and more professional looking.  We also have a few more Flash and Camtasia videos to post to it.  It will be up and running by Friday so keep an eye out.  We are applying for Grace Hopper in Atlanta this fall.  Our paper will hopefully be sent in Tuesday and if we get in we plan on using our poster from UCUR.

Back to School

Along with catching up on our school work last week we're also still working on our regular website stuff.  The website has contracted some quirky bugs that we are trying our best to get rid of but it is really testing our knowledge.  we have some more statistics, movies, and Flash games on their way.

UCUR

UCUR was a blast!  Not only was it great experience in presenting our research but we learned a ton.  We spent the beginning of the week getting the website updated (the background is now an eye pleasing red), practicing our speech, re-checking the bugs, and finishing off poster details.  We presented our poster for two hours in the morning and then spent the afternoon two hours looking at others posters and listening to a few presentations.  The projects ranged from the effectiveness of mixing medicines in saline solutions to be administered to the affects of Disney princess characters and their effects on young children.  You forget how many things there are still to be discovered and researched until you go to something like this. Plus the 6 hour drive was perfect for catching up on homework.  Pictures to be posted soon!
