Week 2 - Rishabh

 1. The research project we are working on seems fun. I like how we have creative control and can do anything related to healthcare for third world countries we like. The only thing I would like is more time to work on it during the day as we cant take the devices home to work on it. I also liked how it was a partner project because it takes off half the stress since we can work together now.

2. For week 3 Im excited to see our final product and poster. It will be cool to see if our research was actually worth it in the end. It will give a sense of accomplishment that I am looking forward too. Even though I am a bit nervous, I am extremly excited for our presentation next week.

3. The fab lab tour was facsincating to me as I have never seen anything close to it. I was amazed my the complextion in everything they do. I never knew colleges have these faccilites for this advanced research. They explained how clean the room was, and it was mindblowing.

Week 2 - Aroosh Sood

  Week 2 Blog 1. What are you first thoughts on the projects you have been working on? I really liked working on the Sparkfun electronics kit. My favorite projects this week were definitely Simon Says and the "Self Control Car" because of how fun they are to play with. I also liked how we continued to work with the tiny watch and added new things like the Bluetooth and the GPS. I loved how I was able to my message notifications on the Tiny Screen.   2. What are you most looking forward to in Week 3? In week 3, I'm most looking forward to designing our final project. I think it will be really cool to combine things we have worked on/learned in the previous 2 weeks. An idea I have for the final project is combining things we have worked on like the BPM, pulse oximeter, and maybe a temperature sensor, and if the user has any problems in one of the categories (like BPM is too fast or temperature to high), the watch will send an alert to a family/friend saying the problem and ...

Week 1 - Natasha Mbajonas

Week 1 Blog - Natasha M. This is what I saw in the mail during my last month of school:  Dear Natasha,   Congratulations! You have been chosen to take part in the PATHS-UP Young Scholars Digital Health program! The program will be held Mon - Thu, June 10 - June 27, 2024, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in Facilities Engineering and Planning Building, Room 102 (number 26 on the attached campus map) at  Rice  University.   Even though I was happy to participate in the program, I knew I needed preparation. So I started preparing only a few days after the email. I refreshed some of my coding skills (which are mainly in Python and Swift). Specifically, I freshened up on using Python libraries like Pandas and NumPy. I also quickly made a  few simple basic apps on Swift such as a calculator and a simple workout card game. After I was briefed on my coding skills, I did some more research on the camp and actually found some of the previous scholars who went to this camp. Ther...

Week 3 - Catherine

 Week 3 - Catherine Project My project is finally finished. On Monday, I finished wiring my project and the hardware components. I was able to calibrate our sensor and ensure that the components were functioning properly. Throughout the building of my project, I go to learn a lot about electrochemistry and chemistry in general. On Tuesday, I finished creating our poster and began rehearsing what I was going to say. Designing the poster took a bit as I need to fill out the Introduction, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections. I really liked working on the poster and practicing the presentation because I enjoy elevator pitches. Paths-UP Program I really enjoyed the program. My favorite parts were :the lectures covering machine learning and software in general; getting to play around with the Arduino; and touring various places at Rice. I feel like I got to learn a lot throughout the program. Most of what I learned was about hardware, something I had been extremely intimidated by. ...
