The Compost Cycle is a cycle that takes old food waste and makes something new out of it. We used a process of composting called vermicomposting, which uses redworms and makes fertilizer. With the fertilizer created, we then add the compost into our garden to grow fruits and vegetables and we give the food back […]
My project, UVB, was something that I thought would be incredibly useful during both the pandemic and normal times. With some inspiration from Mr. Hunt, I designed a box that would sterilize the surface of any device using UV lights. Phones, laptops, and any electronics that we carry around with us will inevitably end up […]

Our main goal was to create a project that would allow us to create animated videos that were digestible, impartial, and complementary to the youth. Throughout this process, we […]
About a year and a half ago, the I2 program received a donation of two Nvidia Quadro m6000s, and so we decided to build a computer in order to allow the school to utilize these opportunities. We were just able to finish the computer last year before the pandemic. Junior year, we continued our mission […]
In exploring the opportunity to integrate technology with music creation, I made a Raspberry Pi-controlled copper pipe glockenspiel. After cutting 30 copper pipes in different lengths based on the frequency of each music note, G5 to C8, I put the two sides of each copper pipe on the sponges and then secured them to the […]
