I researched solar panels and the materials that compose them in order to find more energy efficient alternatives. This being my first year at Energy Institute this project was largely intended to improve my research, creative problem-solving, and presentation skills.]]> 2021-01-20 03:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104014776 s1561810 https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104015524 My sophomore year geometry project was inspired by the entrapment of a Taiwanese soccer team in a flooded cave. In this project we programmed and tested robots to follow a particular path, just as would have been necessary in the cave. The real world applications of these robots including as first responders were considered and the overall project helped develop my ability to make these real world connections.]]> 2021-01-20 03:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104015524 s1561810 https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104015814 To continue my trend of addressing real world problems, my junior year project focused on water crises. I chose to focus on Ethiopia where the role of women to gather water has lead to educational disparities in remote communities. To fix the issues of transport and water quality, my team and I used a peristaltic pumping system and the flocculant PolyGlu. The peristaltic pump transported water through the force of suction and PolyGlu was able to accumulate visible contaminants and settle them to the bottom.]]> 2021-01-20 03:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104015814 s1561810 https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104016011 I have a project currently underway the topic of which is police body cameras. In this project my team and I are seeking to modify the existing designs of cameras and storage systems to improve accountability in police departments. Thorough research has been done so far, proving that these systems can in fact be abused and we are currently in the process of ideation.]]> 2021-01-20 03:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s1561810/fwua68c6w6s216qt/wish/1104016011
