Hovercraft

I research,  discover, plan and engineer a hovercraft.  go through daily logs and test results and be taken along a journey with me into the world of hovercrafts. Or go through research I did about hovercrafts, how they work, where they are used, their advantages and disadvantages.

Electronic Circuit

Hovercraft Controller

I made a controller for my technology project in science with my knowledge of circuits and electronics. The controller is made simply of foam core, paper clips, thumb tacks, and wire. It has a master switch to turn the entire hovercraft on. It can also individually control each motor of the hovercraft, and also flip the direction of one motor!

The Thermal Conductivity of Denim

Can denim be used as insulation? What are the pros and cons? How does it stack up alongside other insulators on the market? What is it's ecological effects? Is it safe for humans; which insulators are not? Can it and should it be the new insulation of modern households. So many questions! Come to see the answers to all these questions, and more, as I put together data, theory, and experiment to get to the bottom of it.

Logo Design

In this project, we were challenged to make a logo and then find the area, surface area and volume of every single smaller shape in the logo as well as for the entire logo. So if you dare, read the dive into 19 pages of math Polynomials algebra and then two fun word problem relating the logo to get your brain working. If you get stuck you can always check out the solutions at the bottom of the page.

Linear Relations: Nut Rotations V.S Screw Height.

In this project, we were instructed to merge the wonderful world of linear relations with a real-world experiment. I decided to test the relationship between the number of rotations a nut makes on a screw and the height of the screw. Do you think I found a relationship? Come find out the interesting way I tested this relationship by merging to the world of robotics and mathematics.

Akata Witch

Akata Witch; a novel written by author NNedi Okorafor examines multiple cultural aspects of our society while being a fantastic fictional book. The topics that I break down in this video are sexism and the idea of our past affecting our future.
