"New Person" on Sci-High — episode 3: the students
Episode three of the "New Person" series on Sci-High — the students themselves: what makes them join, what keeps them going, and what they carry with them into university.
The third episode puts the students themselves at the centre. Former and current Sci-High participants describe what made them sign up for their first team, what was the hardest part of the season, and what remained with them after the finals.
Topics in the episode:
- Why teenagers choose to give six months of their free time to a science project.
- The point at which the project “becomes theirs” — no longer the teacher’s or the mentor’s.
- What changes from the first to the final presentation — voice, confidence, writing.
- How the choice of university and major shifts after Sci-High.
