My name is Sloan Dobson and I am a Junior here at SHC. My main interests are volleyball, math, computer programming, physics, and anything of the STEM sort. All three of my older brothers also play volleyball and most of my interest stemmed from them. I played on the varsity volleyball team here at SHC the whole time I have been at SHC and I plan to continue. I also have played club volleyball since sixth grade. This past summer my team went to the Boys Junior Nationals in Salt Lake City as well as other tournaments around California. My interest in STEM has led me to take higher level courses at a younger age, such as AP Calc AB as a Freshman as well as AP Calc BC, AP Physics, and AP Computer Science as a Sophomore. I have done many coding projects as well, like as creating a neural network that can guess handwritten digits.

After a season of taking stats for the girl's varsity team here at SHC, I realized that keeping track of all these different things accurately in a short time span is difficult, and wondered if there was an easier way.
