Last week, out co-founders @trinaacolada and @rrosiehernandez kicked off the #IAm Project's 2023 scholarship cycle 🎉 by spending a day at their alma-mater, Westwood High School, where they:

🚀 Led a focus group for potential #IAm Project Scholarship applicants covering:
•Imposter syndrome
•Increasing confidence
•Studying tips
•Semester planning
•Research projects
•Scholarship application tips
•Asking for strong letters of recommendation
•Resume formatting

🚀 Visited physics classes and fielded questions like:
•How much in student loans did they take out?
•How much do they currently owe?
•What's the process to change majors?
•How and when did they learn to code?
•Do they have any tips on selecting a university?
•Any advice on standing out in scholarship applications?
•What is science writing for public outreach?

🚀 Brainstormed fundraising ideas with the Science Club and opportunities to increase students’ STEM exposure
