SCHOOL PROJECTS

Collaborated with 3 group members to think of a problem in our school and come up with a sustainable solution to that problem. In this project, I developed collaboration, leadership, presentation, auditing, and compromising skills.

Chose a topic with two independent variables and compared them to find how correlated they are. Being a Texas Longhorns fan (and, more rare, a Quinn Ewers fan), I decided to track his career yards to completions and found a strong correlation. From this project, I developed skills in research, graphing, interpreting results, and writing reports based on statistics.

Researched and created a poster board to show my findings of how the air traffic system works in the United States. I chose this project because I was interested in how airspace was organized within the United States.

Participated in a freshman outreach Model UN conference. I was assigned to both a committee and delegation and had to research the position of Ukraine on the ethics of Autonomous Drone Warfare. I wrote a position paper and represented my delegation in a conference with ~20 other delegates. From this project I developed public speaking, argumentative, and research skills.

With 3 partners, we had to create a "gingerbread house" made of cardboard. We decided to model ours after the main building at the University of Texas. We had 3 hours to complete this project. I reused orchestra bow lights that we'd used during our winter concert to create the lighting element, and I also designed planned out how we would make the building. Developed skills in project planning and organizing and delegating tasks

Designed and built a themed mini golf hole with multiple obstacles. Both myself and the person I was partnered with are Texas Longhorns fans, and so we decided to theme our project on Darrel K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, with the obstacles on the field being the opponents that the Longhorns played that season. Developed skills in mocking up designs and managing time in a time-constrained class period.
