Perry Traditional Academy
Mentor: Barry Loukkala, Physics
Interests:
Softball, swimming, skiing, volleyball, listening to music (classic rock and alternative), hanging out
Plans:
I hope to get into some area of the medical field, though I am not sure which one.
College:
I want to stay close to Pittsburgh, and hope to go to Duquesne.
Project:
I work in the Chaos lab. Basically, I get a ruler to move chaotically between two magnets, and then take data at different points in the period. I then compare the data to see if the graph of the data points changes depending on what point in the period I measure it.
Reactions:
It's a pretty good job. I get to be on the inside of a college campus, and it is impressive on college applications.
