Junior Sophia “Sophie” Sinder
Can you describe your involvement in STEM? This year I am taking three science classes. Last year I only took two, and then the year before, I took two as well. But basically, these are the classes that I've always enjoyed more than others. I really just found an interest early on and knew I really wanted to focus on STEM in particular. Furthermore, I am also participating in an internship ...

Can you talk about your involvement in STEM? I've taken all the AP science classes. For math, I've taken precalculus, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, and I’m in IB Multivariable Calculus. For extracurriculars, I do a couple of clubs. I am president of Chemistry Club and this computer science club called Girls Can Code. I also am the captain of Science Bowl. Outside of school, I do Chem...
Science Department Chair Jennifer Drudge
Could you talk about your journey through STEM, and what brought you to where you are now? I always enjoyed school and I really always enjoyed all subjects in school. It was my chemistry class in high school that was the first time I really realized how much I loved trying to figure things out. I love the problem solving involved with chemistry, but it was a little bit different from math for m...

Can you describe your involvement in STEM? I've been in STEM classes since my freshman year, so I've been in the required ones—honors biology, honors chemistry—and then I also took part in the Project Lead The Way courses… Something I really loved about all of the PLTW courses is, they had a lot of emphasis on the different careers in science, which I think is something that we miss a lo...
Sophomore Jinhee Won
Could you describe your involvement in STEM? I’d say right now, I’m just trying out a lot of different sciences. Last year, I joined Science Olympiad, which I’m still continuing this year, and I’m really interested in biology. I’m doing CyberPatriot, which is like a cybersecurity compeition, Math Club, and Science Olympiad. I’m also thinking of joining HOSA this year, and I’m...
AP Chemistry teacher Virginia Kundrat
What drew you to the STEM field to become a chemistry teacher today? My dad is a chemistry professor, so going in and observing his labs—it just always looked very cool and interesting to see what was going on under the fume hoods. That was the first thing that really drew me in—seeing the labs that his students did. I worked as a chemist before I became a teacher. Part of that was to co...
Junior Briana Chen
Can you talk about your involvement in STEM? For Science Olympiad, I do four events right now: Astronomy, Detector Building, Sounds of Music and Circuit Lab. I basically prepare notes and build whatever's required, and then we prepare for invitationals. More importantly, the state tournament is in March. For SNHS (Science National Honor Society), we do a lot of science fairs with little ki...
Freshman Grace Zhang
Could you describe your STEM involvement? I'm doing SciOly (Science Olympiad) this year. Last year, I did a chemistry competition called You Be The Chemist, and I made it to nationals. I also took a placement test over the summer (to test into AP Calculus BC); that’s how I got in. I took extracurricular classes for precalculus and trig(onometry), so those helped because I was skipping precalc and trig. ...
Senior Nicole Segaran
Can you describe your involvement in STEM? I've taken almost all of the AP STEM classes, like AP physics, AP bio, all that stuff. Also, I co-founded a club here at school called Science Works, dedicated to putting on science workshops for middle schoolers at the Carmel Clay Public Library—basically teaching about certain science topics that are more advanced than what they would see in a...
Cynthia Henry, chemistry teacher and Science Olympiad sponsor
Can you describe your journey through STEM? I started off when I was a kid, really. When I was probably a preteen, I was given a chemistry set for my birthday. I started using it and I thought it was cool, so I knew I liked chemistry. I liked chemistry when I took it in high school. When I went to college, my first semester I was in a chemistry class, and I liked it enough that I declared my m...
