The "brain drain" for the word "mini-project" brought about interesting results amongst our group members. For starters, that words that came to mind for me were exploring, learning, new. The results for the rest of our group are below:

Shoshana- Searching, Information, Exciting

Geneva-Building, Relevant, Infinite

Mattie-Uncertainty, Short (relating to the word "mini")

When we were discussing the mini-projects that amount of advice that was shared amongst group members was excellent. Geneva (who has attended the Brain Institute since the 1990's) had a lot to share with her peers. In particular, the advice that she offered Mattie was extremely encouraging and optimistic.

I found all of their mini-project topics very interesting and thought it was quite amazing that Geneva's has been a continual project for quite some time. She said that this is why she would use the term "infinite" to describe what she thinks of when she hears the word mini-project. Her project is working on receiving grant-funding to facilitate community work.  In particular, community-rehab and use for ministry and people who need a place to stay. One of her main aspirations is to create a sense of community amongst people regardless of ethnicity or background.

Shoshana's topic that she is interested in learning more about is ADHD in children and the effect of ADHD in the classroom.

Mattie's mini-project is still ongoing yet she wants to elaborate on the idea of science being an open-ended process. However, she does think that perhaps there are some boundaries that science should follow.

I look forward to reading their completed min-projects! Great ideas so far!
