Through this blog, students from Charles Mbuto's science class at Daraja Academy in Nanuyki, Kenya and Mark Stefanski's Advanced Biology sections at Marin Academy in San Rafael, CA can interact and share thoughts and ideas as they study the natural world. As you observe and experiment with the behavior of your chosen species, feel free to post any and all of your techniques, methods, problems, successes, and theories. When you love mother nature, she loves you in return!

1. What is your favorite activity? 2. What is your best subject? 3. What do you want to be in your future?
My name is Cora, and I can't wait to talk to you some more about how different/the same our lives are in America and Kenya!
I have a lot of favorite activities, and most of them involve being outside somehow. I love to go for runs and hikes with my friends, and I run on the cross country team too. I have also recently loved being outside at night and watching the stars. Listening to music is always fun too.
My best subject is probably math. I have always liked solving math problems and puzzles. However, my favorite subject is science, because I really enjoy learning about how all of life on this planet interacts.
In the future, I think that it would be really cool to be an environmental engineer. That combines the two subjects that I like, math and science. I could do things like designing solar panels and otherwise devising systems that would create more of a balanced connection between humans and the rest of the environment.
I would love to hear a few things about you too!
1. Where do you call your "home" and what is it like there? 2. What would you do if you had two hours with nothing to do? 3. How about you- what do you want to be in the future?
