Bronze Medal
I did an experiment to see which of the following Soap ,Sanitizer and water works best to clean dirty hands.
CWSF · 2026
Agriculture, Fisheries & Food
In northern communities like ours, groceries are expensive and not always fresh. Our goal was to see if it would be possible to raise chickens locally, sell eggs and meat, and offer lower pr…
CYSF · 2026
This project will tell you all about how the earth would be if it didn't have a tilt on it's axis. It will also share some other small detail about earth that we don't really look up to

Gold Medal
How faster than light travel leads to causality violations.
CYSF · 2026
A project that explores the current state of wildlife in cities as well as examines hypothetical scenarios of what would happen if we eliminated or fully integrated other living organisms in…
CYSF · 2026
Bronze Medal
I'm going to get different liquids and freeze them and then place them in cups of water to see which ones float and which ones don't float. I will then explain why some float and some don't.
ISEF · 2026
Earth and Environmental Sciences Third Award
Sensing of the Tropopause and Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) is limited by cost and operational constraints of conventional fixed monitoring systems. WindDrift is a dual-modality Lagrangian sen…
CWSF · 2026
Disease & Illness Gold Medal
Alzheimer's disease steals the memories of 55+ million worldwide, yet no effective diagnosis or treatment exists. The retina is composed of neural tissue, thus mirroring neurological damage…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division) Honorable_mention Award
A larger-scale wind tunnel can be used to test a variety of prototypes, from model cars to aircraft. The high cost of professional wind tunnels makes aerodynamic testing inaccessible to smal…
ISEF · 2026
Energy: Sustainable Materials and Design Second Award
The growing need for an efficient small-scale wind energy system led to the investigation of a biomimetic combination of hammerhead shark-inspired tubercles and golf ball dimple surface roug…
ISEF · 2026
Robotics and Intelligent Machines
The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis posits that highly sparse, trainable subnetworks ('winning tickets') exist within all randomly initialized neural networks. However, state-of-the-art ticket-dra…
CWSF · 2026
Environment & Climate Change Bronze Medal
Every year, we use tonnes of road salt to make roads and driveways safer for us to drive on, but have we ever considered how this affects our environment? In my research, I aimed to solve th…
