The purpose behind the experiment below was to specifically observing how puppies affect high school seniors stress levels. This WISRD experiment was facilitated through a partnership with another Wildwood institute, as they supplied the main resource for this experiment: puppies

In the WISRD lab, Canada and Kezie tested the headset on two participants, including Canada herself. The experiment was effective, as both participants took a stress test. Furthermore, these tests will be used to observe how growth mindsets function under different circumstances.

@DanteThe_L0ser @WiserIsNicer @SapperJaeger @gunsnrosesgirl3 And you wonder why there’s homophobia in the first place💀🤣

@SapperJaeger @gunsnrosesgirl3 Disgusting leave the earth please

Yesterday WISRD celebrated Bob day during our monthly lab mixer. Happy Bob Day!!

The freshwater tank is getting some new friends! Today we have assassin snails, a pygmy cory, red wag platys, pom pom crabs, and a crawfish that are currently being acclimated for addition to the tank. #WISRD #STEM #freshwater #fish #aquatic

The Physiology group is still in the process of collecting and analyzing data for our stress study. We currently have 77 participants and are starting to bring participants into the lab to monitor their brainwaves. #STEM #research #stress #mindsetmatters

The WISRD Board will be doing a mid-year lab assessment as we come back from break to reflect on the progress of the different labs and identify areas of growth. #STEM #STEMeducation #Learning #Leadership

Our Fall ‘22 Poster Session was a huge success! We got lots of interest in our work from the Wildwood community and a fantastic lecture from toxicology scientist and PhD candidate Alice Coleman. We are excited to start the next semester of research in WISRD! #WISRD #wildwood

Most people know now that atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons but what are they made of and where did they come from? The Cosmic Ray Group is investing high energy muons that could help us understand these questions.

In the Physiology group, Canada and Honor determined whether students had a growth or fixed mindset through a form based around PALS manual. Furthermore they will continue this experiment by testing the Emotiv + headset on students, receiving additional insight on these mindsets.

WISRD's Prosthetics Group is using a dremel tool to cut screws for their prosthetic hand! This is a very innovative way to solve the improper sizing of their current screws. #Prosthetics #Engineering #hand #WISRD #Stemnnovation2022 #technology

The Physiology Group has received results from the survey we sent out to the high school. We have analyzed around 40 responses to identify growth vs fixed mindsets. Next, we will look at the participants stress and see how it corresponds with their EEG waves. #stress #brain

WISRD's Radio Astronomy Group has built and set up a new radio telescope. This telescope will be kept for in lab use and to demonstrate the inner workings of the radio telescopes collecting data at WISRD's observatory. #WISRD #STEM #astronomy #science

WISRD's Prosthetic Group were able to use Arduino myoware EMG sensors to get a read on muscle contractions in the forearm of a user. Using the Arduino software to code the movement, the read on the graph shows a spike in movements involving flexing certain muscles (i.e. biceps).

Here is a quick clip of one of our Tuxedo urchins moving in the tank. Sea urchins use their feet, spines, or even teeth to move and can advance very quickly when needed. #STEM #seaurchin #WISRD #wildwood #aquatic #aquarium

The WISRD Hydroponics Lab has been cleaned and rebuilt! After water has been distilled and placed into the lab, experimentation will resume! Here you can see one of our devoted researchers finalizing the reconstruction process. #WISRD #LifeScience #Hydroponics #Science

Dark Matter Day at WISRD was a huge success! Complete with liquid nitrogen ice cream, virtual reality, physics toys, and so much more, we had a blast celebrating Halloween with everyone. #STEM #WISRD #wildwood #Halloween

[WISRD @WISRD]

This morning, the WISRD Radio Astronomy Group presented at the Wildwood Lower School to teach elementary students about #physics, #telescopes, and #cosmicrays. Additionally, WISRD students introduced Dark Matter Day at Wildwood on Oct. 26, from 6-9pm. Hope to see you all there!

The WISRD Physiology group made the video below to show how we set up the Emotiv Epoc x and detect #stress levels in high school students. This video will be shown to participants in our study, where we are looking at #mindsets and how they effect a students response to stress
