Squirrel Gazer

Squirrel Gazer Featured on CBS2/KCAL9 STEAM Sunday!

10/8/2018

 
The Squirrel Gazer research project 🐿👀🔎 was on the news over the weekend! 

We were highlighted on STEAM Sunday 🔬, a weekly news segment that highlights scientists who do unusual things with their STEM educations.  Who knew building a squirrel feeding robot 🤖was so unusual? 💁🏻🌰🐿
Picture
The goal of the STEAM Sunday segments are to expose a wide audience to all the cool careers that can result from an education grounded in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) and inspire a new generation of young scientists. 

Aside from how cool and surreal it was to see all my squirrel friends 🐿💕😊on the silver screen 🌟, I think my favorite part of this entire experience was the opportunity to serve as an example of how possible it is for anyone to become a scientist. 

​I struggled in math and science throughout high school. When I  graduated I did not have the grades to study science at the university level. I spent 5 years in community college working my way up from 7th grade level math.

You do not have to be a natural at something  to be successful in a field. With a lot of dedication and help from others you can build yourself a foundation of knowledge upon which you can springboard yourself to the scientific career of your choice!

And hey! In the end all that time and effort was worth it!  Did I mention I spend all day with squirrels now? 🐿
