All of the students I nominated were very excited. It gave them an opportunity to take themselves seriously as researchers and they learned a lot about how to give a professional presentation, including how to handle the Q&A. It was a tremendous learning experience and confidence builder. I also saw families there beaming with pride at what their kids were achieving.
