    That’s pretty cool Erin! My wife and I were at Stanford/Palo Alto last summer and we were impressed. We saw lots of high school students there. Go up the Hoover Tower and don’t forget to visit the garage where Hewlett & Packard started.

    Hey,
    My name is Cindy and I am aplying for the program this year. I heard that it is very hard to get in. Can you give me any advice or tips for the application process. What were some of the extra curricular activities that you mentioned? Thanks. :D Congrats on getting accepted. I just realized this blog is a year old!

    HELLO! hey, i know that u went to standford LAST summer, but i’m going this summer, and since i just finished 8th grade, i will probably be one of the youngest in the high school math olypiad course that i am taking. just wanted to know, though, whether or not we get ‘homework’ lol! because i really don’t see this as a rigorous work-centric place. do correct me if i am wrong, though. also, how is the atmosphere? is it easy to make good friends, or do we have no time because of too much work?
    thanks.

    Hi Mahera,

    Congrats on going!

    There was homework in the AI class, but since we had a end of session project that we could do, some of us (myself included) blew off the homework and just worked on the project.

    The atmosphere is really nice, usually similar minded programs are teamed up in a dorm together.

    There is plenty of time to make friends.

    Have fun!

Store


    The story of my store begins with my Styrobots, which begins with my acceptance into the Stanford EPGY Summer Institutes Artificial Intelligence program for 2008. In order to go there, I needed money! So, I came up with Styrobots.
    All of the money from the store goes towards my Robotic Fund. This enables me to buy parts for the robots that I enjoy creating!
    I appreciate all help! :D
