Chapter Director:

Melisa Wong, Class of 2011.
By directing the ScienceDays chapter at her school, Melisa hopes "to encourage young students to be more involved in science, since science is all around them."  She says, "young students are usually unmotivated about science and I intend to change that. I want young students to know how important and fun science can be through science activities and experiments. Since there is a broad range of topics that fall under science, numerous experiments would be created and shown to the students, as well as the students doing their own.  By doing science experiments themselves, they can find and expand their curiosity for science and hopefully continue to be motivated by science.  Melisa is also has been a member of the Augustine Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society for two consecutive years.  She is also a member of the organization "Building a Better Tomorrow".

Past Chapter Director:

2006-2007:

Nina Wong, Class of 2007, Stanford '11.
By founding a ScienceDays chapter at her school, Nina hoped to involve high-achieving students in the community to promote advancement in science. Two or three elementary schools would be involved in this outreach in addition to a series of events at a local library for students who do not attend the participating elementary schools. Nina contacted local venues such as Madie Ives Elementary School, Ojus Elementary School, Miami, and North Miami Beach Library. Nina is an active leader in the school community and has a passion for science research, participating in competitions such as ISEF 2007 in Albuquerque.
