Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (150 words or fewer, 1000 character maximum).
Short Answer:
A question that baffles all high school students including myself is what is beyond the realm of high school for us? I am proudly able to say that I was able to find this insightful answer during my summer program with NJIT. This program even with its breathtaking knowledge can be summarized in just its title, "Real World Connections (RWC)." RWC allowed young adults to redefine themselves in the world and discover their hidden potentials. The overarching concept of RWC is to help truncate the gap between the young adult mentality and the real world. RWC allowed me to learn and expand my horizon of knowledge through team-based learning experience projects. Under the leadership of my mentor and myself, my team was able to earn the honor of 2nd place in the Capstone showcase as well as 3rd place in the overall RWC program for our state of the art programming language known as MatLab. Our goal was to use MatLab to simulate a virtual incision line using a robotic arm.
