At the beginning of this project, we were toying with the idea to make an online shop, but we ran into various obstacles. So, abandoning the idea of making a website from scratch, me and my partner Angel decided to instead make an Etsy shop and Instagram to go with it. We chose this to […]

It’s been awhile since my latest update, and a lot has changed with the project. I have a chamber completely built, at 12in by 18in x 4in. This size of chamber will be large enough to see many trails of particles while being portable enough to bring into a classroom. The peltiers are proving to […]

For this year’s project, me and my classmate Angel are building a shop to sell our crafts and art. Currently we are setting up prices for our products, which will include stuffed crochet animals and stickers. Our next steps are to establish an Etsy shop and Instagram as well as research charities and their donation […]

We have recently switched our project from a compassion project back to the homelessness topic that we did last year. While our goal is the same, which is to better educate members of our SHC community on homelessness and the many misconceptions, we plan to achieve this goal through an interview-type series.

This year, my i2 project is going to be centered around helping ballet schools around the world. Since I am a ballet dancer myself, I see how important ballet is to my well-being and self expression. I see that in many other dancers as well. This is why I have decided to create a new […]

Essentially, this year I will conduct interviews, send out questionnaires, and do research on what immigrants grapple with socially as they try to adapt to an American way of life from their past culture, […]

MIDI Fractals is my 11th Grade i2 Project Proposal is a digital program that randomly generates multi-instrumental pieces based on mathematical algorithms such as fractals. Essentially, it will allow the user to select what instruments they would like to play, then choose which fractal or other mathematical algorithm they would like to use, then generate […]

After immersing myself in two different but related projects for my first two years of i2, I want to build on what I’ve learned and incorporate quantitative data. Redefining Organic taught me so much about the agriculture industry, and how “organic” labels really don’t mean much when it comes down to the transparency of the final […]

As I applied to SHC, I was simply just trying to get in. I was not aware that a program such as i2 even existed, so it is fair to say that I was fairly surprised when I got accepted into the i2 program. As I did a little more research, I realized that the […]
