Alternative Energy (Junior Division)
In 7th grade, I learned about the plant’s process of photosynthesis. For this project, I asked myself if there was any way to be able to incorporate photosynthesis to create a new eco-friend…
CSEF · 2026
Mathematical Sciences (Senior Division)
This project focuses on the Repelling Propellers Problem, an unsolved problem proposed by Professor James Propp. The question investigates how same-sign, equally charged/spaced points behave…
CSEF · 2026
Behavioral & Social Sciences (Junior Division)
This experiment studied how listening to different genres of music affects heart rate. Because music can affect mood, energy level, and nervous system activity, it was predicted that faster,…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Senior Division)
In early January 2025, a series of wildfires spread across Los Angeles, devastating houses and forcing multiple families to evacuate their homes. These fires included the Sunset Fire, Palisa…
