For a quick preview on us co-presidents <a href=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/index.php\/about-us\/\" title=\"click here\">click here<\/a>. Mehak and I are both students in the Lower Mainland, with a goal to share students\u2019 passions for STEM. We are both looking to enter the field of sciences, though we\u2019ll pursue different types of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are we doing this?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are running this blog because we have a goal to share the passion of students like us through their work through writing posts for the blog. Each student that joins us has the right to showcase their hard work on a safe online platform. We as co-presidents, ask that as the audience, you respect the students and their work. Feel free to leave comments though! Some positive feedback here and there would be incredibly helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1.png 626w, https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-1-300x187.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to join<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a high school student (age 13-18) in BC, and want to share your passion for STEM, and gain online exposure on work you\u2019re proud about, contact us through email or DM us on Instagram, and we\u2019ll get back to you as soon as possible.
