| I am Jaden Balasuriya. Currently I am in grade 8 attending Mountain View elementary school in Collingwood Ontario. I play many sports such as AAA Hockey, Rugby and mountain biking; I also play the guitar. With the hockey I play, I found practicing my shot daily needed to be more efficent and more effective. This was my thought process for Pucksense. Improvments I am working towards are internet capabilities. For anyone thinking about creating a science fair project, I highly reccomend it as no matter how busy you are you always have that time once a year to really do something your passionate about. |
