The Interview

Hey, this blog is about the interview I had with Fraser. I asked him 6 questions and he gave me some interesting answers.
What project are you doing?
My project is exploring the decline of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay.

What tools will you use to complete you project?
I am using a computer modeling program known as Stella. This will hopefully recreate the events that led to the decline in the oyster population.

Who or what are your resources?
My mother is a computer modeler and she will teach me to use the program. My data that I will need to create the model would come from horn point.
Why are you doing this project?
The question I want to answer is new. Nobody has yet done a model to explore this. It is a good project for stem as well as other places such as college applications. It’s also an interesting topic.
How will you fund this?
This will require little funding because most of the instruments that I will need I already own. The rest I can probably borrow.

Will this be a long term or short term project?
It will be long term. I plan to build on this model and make it more and more complicated and accurate as time goes on.
