 “HIRES was quite a rewarding experience for me because it exposed me to real life research. Although I am not intending to conduct science research as a career, I was still able to grow both intellectually and as a person. This opportunity impelled me to look beyond research by noticing the endless opportunities available in the STEM fields. As an undergraduate student I plan to study aeronautical engineering with a focus in aerodynamics.”Brayan Florentino, Frederick Douglas Academy |
