Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

Content:

1.)  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?- Since I currently do not have a mentor and consequently work on mentorship hours, this winter break was primarily spent on my independent component. I talked to Ms. Yelverton and she approved of my plan to create a interferometer. So, I have started to assemble the frame and am currently obtaining all the required materials.

2.) What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?- The most important thing I learned from working on the interferometer is that the scientific journey and experimentation can be more important in self- development than what the result would do. The source of this is illustrated by the fact that I learned how to assemble the interferometer by looking it up online and through videos. This has helped me alot and boosted my confidence in independent work.


3.)  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
- I would talk to one of my mentor (not anymore)'s colleagues. They are authorities on gravitational waves and they could surely answer any of my questions.
