Maine.\u00a0And I look back on my time at JSHS.\u00a0It&#8217;s one of the most formative and\u00a0exciting experiences for me.\u00a0It&#8217;s where I developed the skills\u00a0that turned into a career.\u00a0It&#8217;s where I cultivated the interests that\u00a0caused me to dedicate my life\u00a0towards solving particular kinds of problems.\u00a0And it&#8217;s also where\u00a0I met the highest concentration\u00a0of problem solvers and\u00a0world changers that I&#8217;ve ever met in my life.\u00a0I mean, at\u00a0the national level and regional level,\u00a0the people in that room\u00a0are all high schoolers\u00a0that are brave and\u00a0audacious enough to say, Hey,\u00a0here&#8217;s a problem in the world I\u00a0think I can solve\u00a0with some engineering solution,\u00a0or, you know, here&#8217;s something that is\u00a0understudied and we don&#8217;t\u00a0fully understand about the world.\u00a0And I think with a little bit of hard work,\u00a0we can understand that a little bit better.\u00a0Um, that audacity to take a big problem,\u00a0break that down into smaller subcomponents,\u00a0and something that you\u00a0can actually achieve and\u00a0solve is an incredible skill\u00a0and requires an abundance of creativity.\u00a0Being around people that are all doing that\u00a0really sparks ideas and gets\u00a0that inspiration going to\u00a0then realize\u00a0that it&#8217;s not impossible and that,\u00a0you know, we can all do that if we\u00a0cultivate those skills\u00a0and cultivate that creativity.\u00a0Um, but in addition to that,\u00a0once you do have a problem to solve, right,\u00a0you&#8217;re developing all these other skills\u00a0to actually put together\u00a0a plan and go research\u00a0that thing or build that solution.\u00a0You&#8217;ll face countless setbacks\u00a0in that process that\u00a0build determination and character that\u00a0will carry you through the rest of your life.\u00a0And then you&#8217;ll put together\u00a0a research paper which, you know,\u00a0most people don&#8217;t get to\u00a0do until they&#8217;re maybe you know,\u00a0working on a PhD,\u00a0and you might have done\u00a0that now a couple of times by\u00a0competing through JSHS\u00a0and going through that process\u00a0of putting together a quality research paper.\u00a0And then coming out\u00a0of the other side of that,\u00a0you still have competition,\u00a0which is largely about\u00a0some of the soft skills of that\u00a0of how do you present that research,\u00a0get people bought into\u00a0the problem and the seriousness of a problem,\u00a0as well as the solution.\u00a0You now get to interpersonally,\u00a0you know, communicate with people,\u00a0get feedback, solicit help,\u00a0and you know, carry that\u00a0forward into maybe the next\u00a0iteration of that project.\u00a0It&#8217;s the best start\u00a0at boot camp in the world,\u00a0and having founded a couple of companies,\u00a0not all of which were successful,\u00a0but those various skills\u00a0and the fact that I got to start\u00a0developing those skills at such a young age\u00a0is a huge differentiator and a huge you know,\u00a0thing that&#8217;ll give you such a leg\u00a0up in the professional world,\u00a0wherever you go, whatever you do,\u00a0all of these experiences\u00a0carry through to other things,\u00a0whether that&#8217;s being a researcher,\u00a0being a good employee,\u00a0being a founder, leading teams,\u00a0trying to come up with\u00a0creative solutions to problems.\u00a0These are all skills\u00a0that you will develop in the process,\u00a0and in no other place\u00a0will you have an opportunity to do that\u00a0in such a self directed way and\u00a0such an organic way that responds to,\u00a0you know, Hey, I&#8217;m not\u00a0interested in that thing anymore.\u00a0I don&#8217;t want to research that\u00a0or build engineering solutions that,\u00a0you know, require knowledge of chemistry.\u00a0I don&#8217;t like chemistry anymore.\u00a0I&#8217;m going to go over here and learn\u00a0how to code. That&#8217;s what I did.\u00a0Verbatim is go from, you know,\u00a0a chemistry solution for\u00a0an environmental problem to building\u00a0a device for the blind using\u00a0software and cameras and\u00a0all that kind of stuff.\u00a0Um, and in that process,\u00a0you will undoubtedly find\u00a0out a little bit more about yourself,\u00a0what you&#8217;re interested in,\u00a0what you&#8217;re capable of.\u00a0And I guarantee you\u00a0finding out what you&#8217;re capable\u00a0of your expectations for\u00a0yourself will increase and\u00a0not decrease over that time.\u00a0So it&#8217;s completely worth doing.\u00a0I don&#8217;t know anybody that did\u00a0it that was in my school or\u00a0other schools that had\u00a0anything bad to say about the process.\u00a0I think they&#8217;re all very\u00a0glad of having gone through it.\u00a0Even ones that went on to have nothing to\u00a0do with STEM fields and become lawyers,\u00a0they all learned something\u00a0incredibly valuable in the process.\u00a0So I&#8217;m sure you will, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-239_16689c-63 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-239_16689c-63 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-239_16689c-63\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Ty Largey.\u00a0I&#8217;m a former JSHS regional winner\u00a0and national runner up from Bangor, Maine.\u00a0And I look back on my time at JSHS.\u00a0It&#8217;s one of the most formative and\u00a0exciting experiences for me.\u00a0It&#8217;s where I developed the skills\u00a0that turned into a career.\u00a0It&#8217;s where I cultivated the interests that\u00a0caused me to dedicate my life\u00a0towards solving particular kinds [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2167,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-239","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"lausier","author_link":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/author\/lausier\/"},"comment_info":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":242,"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239\/revisions\/242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/jshs-nne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
