SPIRE-EIT 2024 Posted on August 2, 2024 by Chukwuma MaduwubaAugust 2, 2024

Last day Today marks the final day of my REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program, and it’s a bittersweet moment. Over the course of this program, I’ve learned a tremendous amount, from advanced research techniques to effective collaboration strategies. The experience has been incredibly enriching, both academically and personally. I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from brilliant minds, both peers and mentors, who have inspired and challenged me every step of the way. The connections I’ve made and the friendships I’ve formed have been a significant highlight, making the journey even more memorable. As I reflect on this experience, I’m filled with gratitude for the knowledge gained, the skills honed, and the wonderful people I’ve met. This … Continue reading →

CRAFTS OF RESEARCH Today was a day filled with discovery and learning, kicking off with an enriching session on the “Crafts of Research.” The morning was dedicated to honing our skills in presenting research posters, a crucial aspect of sharing and communicating scientific findings effectively. Presenting a Research Poster: Reducing Heat Morbidity in Lower-Income Societies During the session, we focused on a compelling and urgent topic: “How to Reduce Heat Morbidity Rates in Lower-Income Societies.” As global temperatures continue to rise, heat morbidity has become a significant public health concern, particularly in lower-income areas where access to cooling technologies and healthcare may be limited. We learned various strategies for creating an impactful research poster, including: Questions and Curiosities I left … Continue reading →

So I’m starting from yesterday. Monday was just working on our deeper dive project which was more than stressful because I had to upload different assets into the VR environment , and it wasn’t easy because most of the assets weren’t even compatible. Then I had to find new assets to use for the environment, on top of that I still had to edit them because I found out that I had not deactivated a few cameras for the assets, but in the end I got through it and we got 1 step closer to our end goal.

So for this I’m starting from yesterday. We had a luncheon lecture from a previous reunion which I actually like because she could actually relate to us to give us experiences she had here and also a few challenges which was very insightful. Today has been pretty tiring mainly because it was to hot and I couldn’t fall asleep the night before. I thought that would be the worst part of my day, and then we had to do our deeper dive topics and the YouTube video we used to guide us was trash, luckily due to hard work and discipline we pulled through and finished the first quarter of our project.

Today was mainly deeper dive topics, basically we were discussing our problem statement which changed a lot and that alone was already not to mention that we also kept change the focus of our project, eventually we came to a decision. We also got to play a few vr games to get some inspiration and luckily that part wasn’t stressful. PS it has been unbelievably hot today don’t go outside.

I’m going to start from yesterday because it was more eventful. So basically yesterday was assembly in solid works which was actually very interesting mainly because I actually liked it, the task was a little hectic but still very interesting to do. Then we had blender introduction which was not as easy as she said it would be, nevertheless we pulled through, honestly I think blender is more interesting and easier to grasp than solid works. Today we basically just did HCI which is intro to history and conference which was a lot more interesting than I expected to be and it was kind of cool to know people who attend theses conferences.

This past weekend was pretty eventful, we woke up a little too early for a ropes course which wasn’t bad but my fear of heights was not helping. We also attended an Reu get together on Sunday which was actually really fun, we got to meet new people and have a good time.

Today was an interesting day I almost woke up late but my roommate came to my rescue, I’d like to thank him for that. Today we had like a speaker who told us about his journey from like high school to where he is now and it was actually very encouraging. He gave us really good tips regrading the job industry and might have also persuaded me to go to grad school. Ps this is the roommate that woke me up.
