Meet Sam, a curious and ambitious high school student with a passion for science. Growing up in a small town, Sam developed a love for experimentation and problem-solving by conducting makeshift science projects in their garage. Now, as they gear up for university, they are navigating the challenging decision of whether to self-study topics outside of their curriculum or dive directly into courses. With dreams of studying environmental science at the University of Waterloo, Sam is eager to make the most of their education and connect with other budding scientists.
