Cat Communication

I have had pet cats for nearly my whole life. And, despite that, I still struggle to understand exactly what they want when they bother me, whether it’s food, water, or something else entirely. To solve this problem, I decided to train one of my cats, Diego, to touch different shaped pieces of paper to […]

Arch Support Socks

This project is an arch support sock that can be worn around the house. As a result of my experience with a foot injury, I learned that adequate arch supports are necessary to a quick recovery. Through my recovery, I mainly used a custom arch support insert you place in shoes, and this helped me […]

Scéal

My 10th grade i2 project is focused on the creation of Scéal, a digital magazine for SHC teens focused on building empathy through storytelling. My project originated in the 9th grade when I explored the issue of empathy building in teens. The problem in today’s world is that teens often live in a perpetual echo […]

What A Waste!

What A Waste is a passion project for me because I have always loved playing games and I hope families will be able to have fun together while also learning how to be environmentally conscious. During middle school, I learned how much our waste impacts our world so I hope that through this game people […]

Golf Swing Analyzer

The goal of our project was to create a device that helps amateur golfers to improve their swings. Our golf swing analyzer utilizes an inertial measurement unit (IMU), along with an Arduino microcontroller to provide the user with feedback regarding the angle of their swing and the angle of their clubface. By using the gyroscopes […]

The Compost Cycle

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 […]

UVB

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 […]

Electric Go Kart

Watching cars when we were younger made us want to go fast. Additionally, we’ve been to K1 Speed and have loved the thrill of electric go karts. As we’ve grown, so has the desire to have a kart. The biggest problem was the cost: high-end karts cost over $12,000 to start out! We wanted a […]

Conditioning Inner-Excellence

Recently, there has been more public focus and attention devoted to acknowledging mental health challenges among athletes, particularly those at and aspiring to be at the elite level. Because women athletes face social and structural inequities and challenges in participating in sports, there are complexities to understanding mental health struggles among this population. This research […]

Satisfaction of Sound Synthesis

Originally I wanted to convey the importance of music in science. I thought that I would make a synthesizer but that would be too much and it would be limiting. However, I still implemented the usage of digital software to increase accessibility. One software I found was Max/MSP, a programming software/coding language for music and […]
