“The Research Challenge was one of the best experiences I have had. All the hard work was worth it when we got the announcement that we were in the Americas Regional Finals. From this experience, I gained five good friends (my team, including our mentor) and developed hard and soft skills that have been and will always be useful along my career path.”
