Q: Have you taken a career lab before and which one?
“I did the child development and criminalistics lab.”
Q: Which one’s been your favorite so far?
“I like the criminalistics one because of the fingerprints and putting the magnet in the dust.”
Q: This time you’re doing the flight & drone technology. Why did you want to do this one?
“My uncle makes drones. He works with people that work with drones. I liked it because I like playing with his drones when I go to his house.”
Q: Do you have a career field you are interested in after school?
“I want to be a dental hygienist, but if I can’t do that I want to work with kids that have autism and helping the little kids because I think I’m really good with my little cousins and my friend’s younger cousin. He has autism and I taught him words. When he goes down the slide, he goes “Weeee.”
