The question my project is based on is: How do genetic mutations influence human health? I explored how changes in a person’s DNA can lead to health problems like genetic disorders, but also how some mutations can be harmless or even helpful. My goal was to understand the different ways mutations affect the body and how scientists study them to find treatments. (There is a catch: the presentation can only include less than 10 words per slide)
I worked on an art project that we needed to do a Collage inspired by the Paralympic Games. And we needed to pick a picture and make a collage inspired by it. So one of my favorite sports is basketball, so I researched a photo of someone playing basketball in the Paralympics. And I found one of a woman playing basketball in a wheelchair which I used it for a design.
I focused on the issue of unhealthy eating habits that contribute to large health risks, such as obesity and heart disease. I have been working on how an AI-powered robot can identify healthy foods as opposed to unhealthy foods simply by looking at an image. The intent is to provide a faster and easier method for deciding the healthiness of foods.
In this project, we tested two different chemical reactions to launch small rockets and see which one worked better. First, we used mini M&M tubes with Alka-Seltzer and water. Later, we experimented with a bigger plastic bottle, baking soda, citric acid, and water. We compared the reactions and how high each rocket flew.
Our project is called Ta’aro, which means hope in Guarani. It’s a website we created to connect people who need help with people who want to help. Users can fill out a short form to ask for or offer help, and their responses appear on the site so others can contact them. We wanted to use technology to build a simple and kind tool for our community.
Our project is a simple but fun game where you play as a shark cleaning the ocean. The shark follows your mouse, and every time it touches a piece of trash, you earn 1 point. When you reach 50 points, the game ends and says: “You saved the ocean!” We created this project to combine Scratch coding with an important environmental message.
We learned how to develop photos using different chemicals. It was cool to see how pictures were made before digital cameras. Watching the image appear on the paper was really interesting. The process helped me understand the science behind photography and how light and chemicals work together to create a photo.
For this project, I created my own 3D town using Tinkercad. I designed every building, street, and park from scratch, thinking carefully about how people would live, work, and move around the town. My goal was to build a place that is both fun and functional, where everything is connected and makes sense.
For this project, we built a robotic car using LittleBits and designed a ramp from scratch. We wanted to test how we could use our engineering and problem-solving skills to make the car move smoothly up and down the ramp. We used materials like cardboard, paint, and creativity to bring the whole setup to life.
This project is basically a plan of a business (Ecohands PY) on how we can cleanup Paraguay, the trash on sidewalks and the stuff on the costanera beach. I would hire artisans to make art out of this trash and sell it. I would use this money to pay the artisans and maybe expand the business to other parts of Asuncion/Paraguay.
