__**INTRODUCTIONS: **__

 My name is Keila (KEE-lah) and I'm from Chapel Hill. I go to East Chapel Hill High School. I'm interested in music and I play clarinet, piano, and soprano saxophone. I also enjoy drawing, reading, and learning new languages. I'm excited about taking this course because I like the idea of asking a question and running various tests in order to answer that question. I hope that this course will help me in college while I'm majoring in a science.
 * Hi, I'm Tyler from Polk County HS (it's near Asheville, kind of). I am an avid runner on my spare time. I also enjoy science, reading, photography, journalism/yearbook, education, and sleeping xD. I am really excited to take this course because I find research extremely interesting, and I hope to gain a variety of skills to develop my experiences with scientific fieldwork.**

Hey, my name is Alice, I'm from Chapel Hill, and I go to East Chapel Hill High. I play the piccolo/flute and I love to ice skate. I'm excited about this course because it's not as traditional as some other courses and it seemed fun.

Hi! My name is Lynea. I'm from Durham and I go to Northern High School. My interests include volleyball and music, I play violin and guitar. I also have an interest in art. I wanted to take this course because the opportunity to conduct actual extensive research. I find research really cool because the data one collects might disprove their hypothesis, there is always something else to learn and something else to gain. I hope that this course will prepare me for other research I may do in the future.

Hey! I'm Ariane, and I'm in the residential program at NCSSM, but before that I went to Enloe High School in Raleigh. I enjoy art, especially making jewelery, reading, singing, and lots of other things. I also like running and cycling. I love science, and I am particularly interested in environmental science, which is why I initially became involved in the FACE Seminar last year that has evolved into what we're doing now. :) My name is Mark and I'm from Oriental, NC. I am a senior at Pamlico County High School. I enjoy playing sports (High School Baseball and Football), surfing the web and messing around with computers. I am interested in this course because I love the idea about doing research and doing experiments/tests to answer a question that is open-ended and hope that I can develop my expertise in science and research, as a whole.  Hey, my name is Bryce. I live in Mount Airy and attend Mount Airy High School. I run Cross Country and Track. My biggest hobby is photography, which is quickly becoming a passion. I am excited to be in this class because I enjoy learning how to look at a problem in more than one way.

I'm Kacper; live in Durham, NC, go to Durham School of the Arts. I play guitar (hence the school). I also enjoy science (especialy Chemistry), and Spanish. Any chance i get to go to a spanish speaking country, besides the USA :), i'll take. Love traveling, getting to know other cultures and points of view is very important to me. See you around.

Hi there! I'm Dylan. I live in Pfafftown (said POFF-town), which is basically in the burbs of Winston-Salem (that's where I spend all my time and schooling). I go to a place called Career Center. I //love// music, and I mess around with guitars, saxophones, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on (DJ turntables are crazy fun). I also do a lot of debating on the state and national circuit, and if your school has a team, there's a good chance I've hung out there. I enjoy doing research, especially when I've got a lot of cool toys and tech to mess around with (anyone in compchem or medchem'll back me up on that one, haha). Look forward to working with you guys!
