“The morning lectures are centered around neuroscience; we started with the basics and quickly advanced to topics I had never heard of before, like action potentials and equations to model nerve firing. They are fascinating,” Alexei says.
“My first week of AwesomeMath Algebra 1.5 showed me that the course is very different from traditional Algebra 1, despite the similar name. The class builds on the math courses I have already taken at my high school, but the problems are not simply using a standard formula and plugging in specific numbers,” Claire says.
“The first week started with factoring. We went much deeper into factoring than I had before, and worked on problems that could only be solved by finding the right way to factor them,” Takamichi says.
“Our day was filled with presentations, lessons, workshops, and masterclasses. These classes would typically help us develop skills such as creating a creative habit, how to learn a new piece, and more,” Justice says.
“I am having so much fun while simultaneously learning so much about the world and myself at CPP. In a week, I’ve gained a set of experiences as valuable, if not more, than those I’ve had in the past six months,” Reka says.
“Using Python, we have begun analyzing audio recordings and other forms of data to draw meaningful scientific conclusions, and I am excited to continue applying programming to better understand neural systems as the program progresses,” Francis says.
