Now that my model machine works, my next engineering project will be hooking it up to the alarm system of an actual car. I want to help parents avoid the risk of forgetting by accident, which could change the family’s lives forever.
I have participated in several science fair competitions, like Google Science Fair and Santa Gertrudis School Science Fair, individually and as a team with my older brothers. Broadcom MASTERS has been very important in encouraging me to pursue(探求) STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. STEM is the main source of knowledge for even1 field in the world. You can find science in every activity you do and it does not have to be a complicated subject at school. This is what first interested me in it. It changed the way I saw the world.
When I was presenting my project at State of Texas Science Fair 2017, I wasn’t feeling too great, and after the judges came by, I felt like I wasn’t going to win. Then I saw four families crowding around my board-I was shocked. They wanted me to present my project to them because they knew about it from the news. These parents asked me to talk to their kids and inspire them. I fell very excited because I got to present the invention that led me to what I am now to the world.
My current goals are to extend ranges in STEM in high school, since in middle school you are more limited. I would like to compete in the University interscholastic Team, participate in Intel ISEF, compete in the Google Science Fair again, and present better projects for science fair.
Instead of watching that one last plot of a TV show, go and think of how you can create something or make sense of something you’re enthusiastic about. Work hard in everything you do for every moment of your life, make that one thing into the best thing, and improve your planning of the project.
