| Marla - My name is Marla Malcolm, I am 16 years old and I've been working with Manitoba First Nations science mentorship program for a year and a half. The inspiration for our project was to find a healthier way to lose weight. Since Caffeine is the widely used stimulant. For further investigations I would want to try use different amounts of Caffeine, and different stimulants. For advice for the students, study hard and put your mind into it. | | Storm - My name is Storm Malcolm, I'm 17 and I am a member of Ebb & Flow First Nation. I've been participating in the Manitoba First Nations science mentorship program for a year and a half. The inspiration my partner and I had for our project is that we wanted to see how caffeine affects weight loss. Our plans for further investigations is that we will use more realistic amounts of caffeine and try other stimulants. My advice to other students would be to find a mentor at a research center or a university for guidance and project ideas. All your hard work will pay off in the end. |
