“One of the factors that helped me land my first research assistant job at UNC was one of the projects I submitted for the RePicture-AISC award. My advisor asked me for a writing sample and I shared with him a link to the RePicture project. He was impressed by the way it was written and I got the job. Now I get to work on a project that I’m very excited about!”

“My biggest takeaway from the RePicture program so far is that we have so much time in our lives to explore different aspects of STEM… This has given me a confidence boost and reassurance that I don't need to have everything figured out right away.”

Chalisa Pusitdhikul

High school student

“The RePicture summer program is the best summer program I’ve attended! Even though it was virtual, I learnt so many things including time management, conducting independent research and of course STEM! The support I got from the RePicture team was also very welcoming. The immense STEM knowledge I gained this summer was far beyond what I expected.”

Assata Harris

Stem college student

“I definitely learned a lot about my own personal interests. I actually wrote some of my college essays based on the research I did over the summer with the RePicture Program. I do believe it’s a great opportunity to explore your own interest in science... I had my [college] interview a few days ago and I mentioned my RePicture Program, and the alumni knew about the program (which was pretty cool).”

Paloma Lenz

High school student

“Listening to professionals describe their work has been the most valuable part of the RePicture Program. … has expanded my understanding of how to improve the world and explore my interests.”

Kaitlyn Kwan

High school student

“The most valuable part of the RePicture program is that it gives students the opportunity to connect with STEM professionals who give valuable advice on personal branding, career exploration, technical writing and other skills important to your career”

Angelina Leopardo

Neuroscience

High school student

“During the RePicture Summer's Program I created some project write ups that I then used to get into a neuroscience program that I was interested in. I also use some of the professional speaking skills that I learned in my day-to-day life, including when trying to get internships and trying to get a job”

Kyla Letko

High school student

“My favorite aspect of the program was probably the awards because they motivated me to find interesting projects. They also motivated me to look for projects in a topic that I may not have otherwise been interested in.”

“The lessons I learned from the RePicture Program will be lessons I will carry for the rest of my career…. RePicture equips participants with the know-how to succeed. RePicture is not just a program for those in the sciences. It's for anyone and everyone interested in learning more about how the natural world works and what we can do about it.”

“In one of my job interviews, the interviewer had read my RePicture Profile and mentioned what a great tool it was for him to have. It also helped demonstrate my writing skills, which he said was very useful.”

Katie Wheaton

Civil Engineering Professor

“My students and I had a great experience working with RePicture as a course project. Within a few weeks my students received a wide variety of experiences that will help them in their professional work. ... And, perhaps most importantly, their final product is a published project they can showcase on their resume to potential employers. The RePicture staff was so helpful every step of the way.”

Patricia Neary

Physics Teacher

“Some of my students conducted independent research through the RePicture summer program and thoroughly enjoyed their experiences! I especially noticed a growth in their communication skills, confidence, and understanding of STEM careers and networking as a result of their participation in the program!”

“The RePicture App seems very interesting and I think it will be very beneficial for Engineering students to learn more about the professional work Engineers do.”

“RePicture’s focus on projects and highlighting accomplishments fits perfectly as a follow-up to our program where the students participating can begin building their digital identity with an emphasis on their research. We lack a platform that aids students in showcasing their work. RePicture fits perfectly as a professional development component as the program arrives at completion.”
