Science Fair Projects

Build a cellular-automaton model, then compare it with magnetic tile experiments to study self-assembly, shape control, and prediction accuracy.

Build a CNN project that classifies microplastics from smartphone microscope images and learns image preprocessing, training, and validation.

Measure how cheap polymer gels swell and shrink with temperature, then turn photos into data with image analysis and calibration curves.

Measure exciton diffusion in J-aggregate dye films by linking thickness, quenching, and optical signal changes with real data analysis.

Model how Stone-Wales defects change graphene strength with atomistic simulation, and build skills in materials mechanics, analysis, and modeling.

Build and test electrospun gelatin/PVA fibers, then compare tensile scaling laws with theory to learn materials characterization and modeling.

Test how Si/Al ratio changes the compressive strength of low-temperature geopolymer ceramics and build real materials testing skills.

Build a color-tunable carbon dot project and measure emission spectra with a DIY smartphone spectrometer while practicing calibration and analysis.

Test how dye choice changes glass bead transmittance and fluorescence, and build data skills in optics, calibration, and materials analysis.

Model how nano-twinned copper responds to shock loading, then measure strain-rate and yield-strength scaling with molecular dynamics.
