[quote=Anonymous]NASA has a Citizens Science program. My kid did it and found a new planet. Basically, you are going through data. But it's perfectly accessible to everyone. The Rockville Science Center supports a bunch of engineering teams in rocketry, robotics, drones, and so on. All accessible for engineering nerds. I'm sure other communities have similar. I'm pretty confident every student can find things to do in the fields they're passionate about that don't cost a lot. Sure, you can go for squash or sailing or golf at the Club if you want to. A handful of schools do need squash players. But there are a million other things a normal middle class student can do to pursue their interests that don't cost much. Colleges see right through the expensive, cultivated, and pay to play ECs. Colleges that need the money like these students very much. But at selective colleges, it gets an eye roll unless you have a prominent parent. [/quote]
