ISEF · 2023

Quantifying Skyglow With a Consumer Camera

Physics and Astronomy

The use of artificial light at night has increased rapidly in the last century, elevating artificial skyglow levels due to unwanted light scattering. The consequences are many and range from…

Star and Moon Light

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…

Sun-Tracking Solar Panel

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…

The GOAT; Grabber Of All Trash

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.…

The Heat Mapper: A Device to Measure Albedo

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…
