Did you know that there are particles moving around you right now? Some you can see, while others you cannot. I want to be able to “see” these invisible particles. I won’t be able to hold them in place, and analyze them, but I will be able to see their trails. Now, this is seemed […]
This is my third year as an I2 student here at SHC. I am extremely passionate about the environment so I wanted to help improve climate change. During my freshmen year, I developed a game in which I hoped would help teach children the importance of responsible waste disposal. Throughout my two years of being […]
This 21-22 school year for i2 I plan on building on my project from the past two years. Last year I focused on collecting data and research regarding Ayurvedic medicine to construct my website educating people on Ayurveda in a modern way appealing to my generation.

After completing The Compost Cycle during the 2020 – 2021 school year, I learned a lot about leadership and trial and error. I think that The Compost Cycle really taught me some important life skills which I hope to use in my upcoming i2 project. While I loved working on The Compost Cycle, I want […]
Last year, 2020-2021, I began a project that aimed to create a solar rover. Over the year I began to understand the amount of skill and knowledge this project would take to complete to perfection. Last year, after shipping delays the rover couldn’t be started till later in the year. I then had the luxury […]
