| My name is Norah Trinh. I am in eighth grade at École La Vérendrye, I have been going to a french school since I was in second grade. I enjoy math and science. I also participate in numerous competitive sports: soccer, climbing and swimming. The inspiration for my project came when I was talking to my dad about renewable energy sources which got me thinking, would it be possible to create a shoe that would create energy? I have made one working prototype and I hope to improve and develop it much more. Some advice I would give to students thinking about doing a project is to create a schedule and then follow it. Having a schedule helps with organisation and it also helps with finishing things on time. |
