Why did you enter the Young Scientist Challenge?
I enjoy open-ended challenges that I can solve creatively, instead of following what others have already done. I was instantly drawn to the idea of inventing something that could change peoples lives, even in the smallest way, and using my knowledge to make it a reality.
My favorite invention of the last 100 years is the light emitting diode (LED) because it is very efficient and can be used for a wide range of purposes.
In 15 years I hope to be...
An engineer or data analyst, and maybe a violin soloist on the side.
Always accumulate knowledge, no matter what the situation. Sometimes you learn the most by experience, not by sitting in class.
