My i2 idea is a device that cleans a solar panel of dust, debris and ash particles,  but without using any water. I plan to use electrostatic forces (via an electrode) to charge those particles, and then pass the electrode back over them to repel off of the solar panel. This project addresses the problem […]

My initial idea for my 2025-26 i2 project is to create a documentary about the affects of climate change on marine ecosystems. I want to start by exploring Earth’s warming oceans, their impact on the chemical makeup of the water itself, and how marine organisms react to the changing waters. Then, I’ll research how the […]

So far, I have mostly been researching ideas on what to do. I have been thinking My about many different ideas. I started with a better way to deliver aid packages to Gaza. Then, I thought of a temporary solution to coral, because climate change is causing a lot of coral bleaching which is affecting […]

I am working on my i2 project with a fellow peer, Katsy Morrow. Our project, titled One Step Forward, Two Steps Back, is a documentary on the different stress […]

My i2 project with Mason and Brayden uses an air-fryer-like idea that is used to make stir fried dishes or fillings, for people that do not have time to cook full meals when getting home from work. It addresses the problem of people resorting to unhealthy habits at night after stressful days of work, as […]

My project brainstorm is about how trees affect the weather. The right trees in any environment may be able to help it thrive. Trees that need a lot of water are not suitable to be planted in a drought-like environment. I am working on the shark tank presentation and tomorrow, October 1, I have my […]

Currently, Mason, Jacob, and I have devised a brilliant cooking i2 project idea. We currently have our idea of how it is going to function and where the source of energy is coming from. This idea is meant for people who do not know how to cook, or for others after a long day. Jacob […]

I have been brainstorming my project for the past months, and trying to figure out what I want to do with my 2025-26 project this year. My idea is to find a more sustainable way to recycle fabrics. I initially wanted to find a way to completely dissolve the fabric at home, to make an […]

My project is a prototype and research of an impact tracking knee strap. This impact tracking knee strap is meant to prevent major injuries and tendonitis. Many youth athletes, who specifically play basketball and volleyball do not know the importance of rest and recovery. Tendonitis specifically in the lower body comes from large impact jumps […]

For this years I2 project, I am planning on prototyping a mini, ecofriendly anaerobic digester. Not only will this be cheaper because of the amount of materials and size of the machine, but it will also give easy access to farmers and even regular people to a resource that turns manure and methane into energy.
