| I am a grade 11 student who has a very strong passion for science, engineering, and design. This is my second year attending the CWSF. The thing I have always loved the most about science fair is the chance delve deep into why the world is the way it is. Outside of the CWSF I enjoy competing in architectural design competitions like Skills Canada. I also love playing volleyball and ultimate frisbee in the summer, and going skiing and skating during the winter. I love to travel and learn about the rest of the world outside of Canada. I one day hope to become a mechatronics engineer and work for a company who's goal is to improve the lives of others and the world. My project was inspired by a friendly coding competition that sparked my curiosity. For anyone who is looking for inspiration they need only look at the world around them and ask the question "Why?". |
