I graduated from California Baptist University in April 2021 and was ready for a change of scenery, which is what brought me to North Idaho. Currently, I’m enjoying being newly married. My husband and I spend our weekends huckleberry picking, working on home improvement projects, taking my husky Judah on walks, spoiling our kitten Opal, and making plans to travel while we earn the means to do so. I love hanging out with family, studying indigenous arts and culture, going on outdoor adventures and creating wood-burning projects. I’m also always down for a casual debate about anything from philosophy and politics to the best local coffee shops. My childhood was filled with dreams of working in almost every field — archeologist, architect, writer, historian, aviator and mathematician were just a few titles I hoped to hold one day. After my first semester in college, I found myself wondering how choosing a major was ever going to be in the cards for me. But, with a little help from friends and family, I realized that the title of “journalist” is a good title for someone who is interested in a little bit of everything. When you can’t be everything, you can always write about everything. | March 7, 2024 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — Over 40 tables of interactive science experiments will be displayed at a science circuit hosted by Sandpoint High School Friday.
The science circuit, which was launched in 2014, was started by SHS chemistry teacher Mamie Brubaker to teach older students about science, and inspire younger students with the outcome.
During a past circuit, Brubaker said the idea was inspired by a study that found the biggest factor in determining whether students go on into the more advanced science and math classes and whether they ultimately choose a STEM career, is the presence and influence of a role model. This information helped shape the style of the event.
The science circuit showcases various fields of science, with each circuit showcasing a distinct selection from the last.
At this year’s event area fifth and sixth graders will have the opportunity to explore and engage in the experiments put together by SHS’s honors chemistry, physics, and anatomy and physiology students, Kari Granier, SHS assistant principal, said.
“Two waves of students will occupy the duration of the school day, but we invite the public, community, and families to come explore the SHS gym from 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. in our final presentations for the day,” Granier said.
