Behavioral and Social Sciences Third Award
In response to the rise in hate crimes against Sikh Americans due to a lack of knowledge about the Sikh Faith, I decided to conduct the Turban Myths experiment: a project designed to evaluat…
ISEF · 2016
Only 10% of blind children in school are taught to read Braille; one of the major barriers is the comparative expense and scarcity of Braille materials. A small volume printer will cost anyw…
ISEF · 2016
We hypothesized that the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagrams for various star clusters would be different and that we could use them to determine properties of star clusters such as age, comp…
ISEF · 2016
Inorganic nitrogen pollution typically caused by farming fertilizer runoff affects the environment in four major ways: increasing the acidity of freshwater ecosystems, stimulating the eutrop…
ISEF · 2016
The purpose of my scientific research is to determine if active and/or passive solar energy would be a viable option to use as an alternative energy source to heat materials. I believe throu…
