Although our project was not selected for that particular competition, that's when we found out about the Ford community challenge just days before the deadline. My group and I founded what became MakeIT MarkET an innovative, hands-on approach, educational program targeted towards high school students from disadvantaged communities. MakeIT MarkET which launched this fall! Following the success of that competition I continued to enter more competitions on my own. I found the competitions to be beneficial in several ways. For instance they helped me grow my critical thinking and analytical skills.

In addition, I also increased my public speaking skills exponentially, as well as my ability to conduct research.
