We were on the lookout for a project that we could use school-wide that would address an international audience and focus on science…The whole point is to make STEM come alive, make science something greater.
It definitely affected how I think about science. I used to not like it at all, and now it’s my favorite subject. I definitely want to be an astrophysicist so I can study space more.
Working on the AGAR DreamUp project has been a game changer for me. It opened my eyes to what I really love to do as well as advance my education in so many ways… This project has helped me in so many ways. I owe a lot to this project.
Space inspires us to explore. I think we live in a day and age where most people are content with what they have on Earth — but we were founded on exploration. For us to reignite that passion of exploration in another worldly setting is kind of awesome…and very important.
I witnessed my project launch, and then recovered the results in what was easily the most educational process I had ever been a part of. I learned more during my ISS research experiment than I did doing anything else in high school. Every STEM student would be better off if they had the opportunity, as I had, to work along professional companies.

Working on the AGAR DreamUp project has been a game changer for me. It opened my eyes to what I really love to do as well as advance my education in so many ways…Since the start of the project I have been able to present our research at several different research symposiums and meet a ton of other students doing amazing things as well as meet professionals in any fields…It helped me get an internship at the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory at Montana State University and the Google self driving…This project has helped me in so many ways. I owe a lot to this project.

As a high school student, I had the opportunity to design, test, and build a science experiment through a program called N.A.S.A. HUNCH. I witnessed my project launch, and then recovered the results in what was easily the most educational process I had ever been a part of. I learned more during my ISS research experiment than I did doing anything else in high school. Every STEM student would be better off if they had the opportunity, as I had, to work along professional companies.
As a student working with the ISS, I was presented with real problems to solve, real consequences for failure, and therefore a real reason to learn.
