Mental health crises have increased in youth, causing them to suffer at higher rates. Accessing mental health care is an expensive endeavor that is not affordable for all families, causing many children to rely on their school’s free resources. However, in many cases, students are unaware of these resources or how to utilize them. The way to address this issue is to publicize the schools’ services to increase student awareness.

Contemporary society faces many complex and interconnected challenges that appear to defy resolution. Despite ongoing debates regarding strategies for achieving social justice, including the efficacy of bureaucratic versus protest measures and the relative merits of donating versus taking action, progress remains slow, particularly in addressing pressing issues such as police brutality and voter suppression. While discussions often neglect the potential role of artistic expression in these movements, its benefits f

People are often remiss that the lack of medical research remains a critical problem until it personally impacts them with drastic consequences, such as severe illness with the potential consequence of death. CRISPR/Cas-9 technology is a recent revolutionary discovery in the science of gene modification. This research project studies the progress made in developing CRISPR systems to study cancer and the emerging adaptation of these technologies to improve diagnosis and treatment. Technology has given us a tool to c

With increased electric bike usage, riders must consider safety with the increased risk factors associated with riding bikes capable of higher speeds and less handling capability. Riders need to take proper safety precautions to avoid crashes resulting in injury. One study estimates that “29% of e-bikers had experienced a safety incident that would not have happened on a conventional bike” (Haustien, 2015). Ensuring riders are prepared and protected against increased risk is critical to avoid injury. This research

This research is about students who participate in the Voluntary Transfer Program (VTP), also known as the Tinsley program, and the effects and outcomes that come from it. VTP involves a lottery process for the admittance of kindergarten students. The research will focus on short- and long-term outcomes and whether they are positive or negative. As for academic outcomes and how they have changed with the VTP, math and English scores have remained relatively high throughout, and the overall change is insignificant.

Math anxiety is a well-documented phenomenon. This lack of confidence in math can have far-reaching consequences, following people throughout their lives. This project examines how feelings towards math change throughout one’s math career, specifically how teachers’ and students’ attitudes morph over time. People will share their experiences through a focus group to identify themes and address them accordingly. The information gained from the focus group will inform communities about the implications of different m

Since the 1970s, the sharp increase in fishing pressure on the shark populations of California has been the subject of much concern. For leopard sharks, one of the most common sharks in San Francisco Bay, protective measures might’ve been too little too late, as the species is vulnerable to outside pressures. In the three years between 1980 and 1983, reported commercial landings of leopard sharks increased from 40,085 lbs to 101,309 lbs, predominantly in San Francisco Bay. In response to the expansion of leopard sh

Despite the uphill climb of female representation in law enforcement, women only make up 13.3 percent of the force. Law enforcement is vital as it collectively deals with people of all races, genders, and ages. Its staff should reflect the demographic it serves to work towards unbiased law enforcement. Unfortunately, discrimination and barriers for women in law enforcement remain prevalent. Studies show that women often feel discriminated against in the law enforcement field. This problem has negatively impacted ma

“Am I normal?” was the question most students asked a local puberty educator. Health and puberty education is critical, especially starting at a young age. Teaching these topics informs children of many subjects: the understanding that bodies are different, disabilities, anatomy, sexual orientation, gender identity, consent, safety, and more. These topics teach students to respect and care for one another and, most importantly, themselves. This research project aims to distribute resources to parents and educators

There is a significant problem with exclusive education and ableist microaggressions in schools. A probable cause of this problem is the lack of integration between students with and without IDD because special education teachers don’t always have time to prioritize it. Students with IDD have IEPs (individualized education plan), which are carried out in separate classrooms so the student can have their teacher’s full attention. Perhaps prioritizing both teachers' and students' needs will help integrate students an

The lack of resources, including staffing and funding, is often a prevalent issue with independent ("indie") game developers compared to corporate game developers. This research project will collect qualitative data from indie and corporate developers via a survey. Appropriate data analysis of collected data will reveal the exact differences between the developers' processes to discover ways to capitalize on available resources, effectively optimizing the process.

Due to the heightened criminalization of drug use following the war on drugs in the 1970s, incarceration rates for drug use and drug-related deaths peaked. While some forms of treatment are available for drug rehabilitation, these methods remain highly inaccessible for many opiate drug users. This research project examines the possibility of using visual stimulants as an accessible temporary treatment method for relieving drug withdrawal symptoms. By examining the activity of various neurotransmitters in the brain’

Across the globe, human activity's impact on marine ecosystems has been increasingly harmful. Living in the Bay Area means that this impact is more direct, as it is easier for the effects of human civilization to reach marine wildlife. Seabirds are essential indicators of marine ecosystem health; since they typically occupy high trophic levels, such as secondary or tertiary consumers, their varied diet reflects the health of the entire food web. Over the last few decades, the health of marine ecosystems has been de

The American prison system currently has work-based programs to assist prisoners in reform and reintegrating into society. However, once released, the formerly incarcerated lack connections to employment opportunities to aid their societal survival. Currently, there is a need for research into work-based programs outside of prison which may help connect the formerly incarcerated to employment opportunities. This research project aims to discover characteristics of post-incarceration work-based programs that help th
