“What I really liked about the ARTEFFECT competition is that the art component is a hook that can draw in students that may not otherwise be enthusiastic about research. I would like to become more knowledgeable and comfortable with the ARTEFFECT curriculum so I can offer it to more students and expand its reach.”
