When we originally began the course, I was actually quite intimidated by the list of the assignments and due dates that were covered on the first day of class. However, as the course progressed, I quickly realized that the assignments were nothing like I had originally thought. I know I was especially nervous about the healthcare innovation that we were to create, but that turned out to be the best project! Although the amount of times we had to present in class got a bit tedious, I really liked the end result. At the STEAM fest, our class’ projects were definitely the highlight of all the projects being presented. Not only did some of the professional spectators enjoy out designs, but the students were also very much intrigued by them. Overall, I thought the STEAM festival was a really great experience to have and I learned quite a bit about the process of creating a healthcare innovation and 3-D printing.

BioBlitz was an event that, at first, I really did not like the sound of. I am not a fan of getting “touchy” with nature, especially dragonflies. When I was told that I was the dragonfly group, I was extremely disappointed and thought that the next couple hours of my day where going to nerve wracking. Surprisingly, it was the complete opposite! I never thought that I would ever hold a dragonfly in my life, let alone on my own will! It was probably one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had.

All in all, I really think that course was very well organized with each of the assignments having a vital motive behind them!
