Traveler Bio

Guten Tag! (Good day!) I am Jaemarie, and I am so excited to share my journey in Germany with you! I'm originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but I just finished studying at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. I majored in psychology and computer science. This year, I am in Heidelberg, which is a town in the west of Germany.

While here, I am carrying out a U.S. Fulbright Research Grant at Heidelberg University to study how young kids perceive robots. I'm curious to know what types of social features are important for children to accept robots as social and educational role models! Whoa, right?!

I will be in Germany for many more months, and I am excited about German culture, delicious food, science and education. I look forward to exploring all these topics together with you!
