Physics & Astronomy
Second Award
Microwave ovens deliver heat to food via electromagnetic radiation. The radiation is absorbed by polar molecules like water. Different factors absorb how the energy is absorbed. In this proj…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Fourth Award
The problem that my project solved was helping people with health conditions like muscular dystrophy and vision impairment explore and create music by replicating the experience of physical…
Physics & Astronomy
Fourth Award
Our project is where we test different types of sports balls at different P.S.I. We tested this by using a homemade apparatus that we call the kicking machine. The kicking machine works in a…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
The rise in global travel has led to an increased need for heightened security measures at airports. Despite the best efforts of airport security officers, in the past year, hundreds of kilo…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Second Award
Purpose The purpose of the OctoGrasp project is to design and build a highly dexterous bio-mimetic prosthetic arm inspired by the biology of cephalopods. Typical prosthetics rely on force at…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
First Award
The annual loss of approximately 2,880 lives due to faulty or late alarms from fire detectors in house fires is a significant concern. To address this issue, I have developed a cost-effectiv…
Physics & Astronomy
Third Award
PURPOSE: Half of all strokes in golf are expected to be putts. If a player can make a more repeatable putting stroke, then they can reduce the total number of putts and achieve a better scor…
Physics & Astronomy
Second Award
Transistors themselves have not fundamentally changed in decades, with all advances in the field focused on merely decreasing the size of transistors. This is a problem as soon it will be im…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Second Award
The Sky Eye Link is a novel intelligent algorithmic software system that operates on a homemade unmanned aerial vehicle, designed to help emergency personnel surveil wildfires through a radi…
Electronics & Electromagnetics (Junior Division)
The goal of this project is to develop a tool that will help people who take a number of daily prescriptions, mostly aimed at the elderly, remember to take their medication. I constructed a…
Physics & Astronomy
Honorable_mention Award
In this experiment I wanted to find out if the phase of the moon would affect how many stars you can see. My hypothesis was that when the phase of the moon was more complete there would not…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
My project is a sun-tracking solar panel. The purpose is to get it to follow the sun across the sky, and generate more power than a static one. My procedure is to measure power with analyzer…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
First Award
The utility of inexpensive radio-controlled drones has never been clearer than during the present conflict in Ukraine. Remote-controlled aircraft—quadcopters, small planes, and even balloons…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
Canvas has brought dematerialized homework assignments and the ability to have real-time updates. While adding the convenience for students and parents to check homework from anywhere at any…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
For our STEM Fair project, we made a robot that picks up trash, called the GOAT. It sees the trash using a camera, then does inverse kinematics to communicate to the arm where the trash is.…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
Urban heat islands pose prevalent problems in cities, causing dangerously high temperatures as dark surfaces absorb and reemit more sunlight. Heat islands must be monitored, and devices call…
Physics & Astronomy
Honorable_mention Award
When selecting a route to walk from point A to point B in the city, multiple options are typically available. One can choose city streets with longer or shorter blocks and decide when to cro…
