1/17/2017 0 Comments Week 3 - January 17th, 2017Everett Allen - Everett seem to be enjoying his time at his internship while gaining important skills that won’t just need to used in a future career but simply important skills he'll need to know throughout life. These experiences are similar to mine because,as read in my last post, the skills I am learning at ODI won’t just benefit me in a career but in everyday task. I do envy that Everett has little no no complaints with his internship and sees himself possibly pursuing it as a career. Jennifer Perry - Jennifer also seems to be enjoying herself at her internship. And yet again, though I am happy that she is more sure than ever that she found what she wants to pursue in the future, I envy my friend for her confidence in her sureness of her future career path. One thing that I did find that she shared was that we worked with children. But other than that, I really couldn’t find anything else in common with our internship. Kennedy Anderson - Kennedy, similar to me, does not enjoy sitting in front on a desk for a prolonged period of time. It’s good to see that someone else is sharing a similar experience to me with my internship and is not sure what they want to do as a career but a least know it’s not behind a desk. Selife of the Day

1/12/2017 2 Comments Week 2 - January 12thSocial Interactions at my internship happen very frequently. Workers at my internship are (from what I see) in small groups and given large task like organizing a month's worth of lessons. They complete these task quickly and efficiently by assigning the workload evenly and working on the small piece individually. During the time of individual work time, the room is usually dead silent. After everybody has completed their individual assignments, they collaborate on what ideas they've come up with and critique each other to improve the final product. This efficientness reflects in final product (class projects) of the non-profit. While I was shadowing a lesson during the first week, is was clear how much effort has been put into the lessons ODI makles. They often rehearse these lesson until they've memorized most of it. SELFIE OF THE DAY1/10/2017 0 Comments Week 2 - January 10th The work I do at my internship benefits both the Ocean Discovery Institute and the students of City Heights. I often am given task at my internship like organizing files and making spreadsheets. This helps the Ocean Discovery Institute by decreasing their workload and saving them money by not having to have a employee the work. I also prepare projects and experiments/ projects.
Students all over City Heights benefit from the work done at the Ocean Discovery Institute. The Ocean Discovery Institute engages, educates, and inspires youth from urban and diverse backgrounds through science-based exploration of biology. The Ocean Discovery institute benefits the students of City Height because it prepares them to go into a STEM field as a career and become tomorrows scientific and environmental leaders. 1/9/2017 0 Comments Week 2 - January 9th
Selfie of the Day1/6/2017 1 Comment Week 1 - January 6th1/5/2017 0 Comments Week 1 - January 5th, 2017The mission of the Ocean Discovery Institute is the engage, educate, and inspire youth from urban and diverse backgrounds through science-based exploration of the Ocean and nature, preparing them to be tomorrow’s scientific and environmental leaders
I see this when they go to underprivileged schools in City Heights to teach the student about biology. What's cool about this is that they don't just give these students lectures on biology/ecology, they involve them with quick hand on projects (dissection, crafts, experiments, etc.), to help them remember the subject through fun activities so they don't forget it. 1/4/2017 0 Comments Week 1 - January 4th, 2017
1/3/2017 0 Comments Week 1 - January 3rd, 2017Today I will start my internship at the Ocean Discovery Institute. My hope is to learn about marine life but more specifically the effects that climate change and pollution in general have on singular and whole species I also hope to learn new skills in this program and to be able to carry these skills into college or possibly a future career. My biggest concern is that I will be stuck behind a desk just doing tedious task that the staff there just doesn't want to do.
