| My name is Elias Andersen and I am a grade twelve student at Pretty River Academy in Collingwood, Ontario. I am a three-time CWSF medalist and I won 4th place at the Intel ISEF last year with my electronic baseball umpire. Science and math are my favourite subjects at school. In my spare time, I enjoy using my social media skills to help non-profit sports organizations. I love playing and watching all sports, which led to this year’s innovation, "ChampTrax: A Novel Approach to Sports Analytics". In a few short months, I plan on attending university and studying engineering. |
