As the TIP students came into Shodor this morning, they quickly began working on their models. David and Edward told of how they worked on a model of a star's progress through life. "It's harder than we thought...[though we're]...glad to do this," stated Edward as he worked on the computer next to his partner. David, reading and taking down notes said, "[It's] not easier after lunch...[but]...we hope [we're finished with it at the end of the week.]" Hard work and hope bring the TIPsters past the middle of the week successfully.
