ASA 2021 ONLINE STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

This project was to make a creative periodic table of my own choosing. I made a personal periodic table on apps which had distinct patterns. I used a google docs and the shape creator built inside it to make each "tile" of the periodic table. I also did an illustrative essay describing my periodic table of apps. The periodic table looked neat, organized, and easy to comprehend.

WHY?

I did this project to better understand the patterns of the periodic table by utilizing them myself. How can I construct a neat and creative periodic table that expands my knowledge about the official real one and is alike? What are possible arrangements?

HOW?

In the beginning, I picked a topic-apps, and brainstormed resources needed and how am I going to do my personal periodic table. Next, I did my essay rough draft, had peers check it, and then produced the final draft. Then I did the most important part, building up my Periodic Table of Apps! The patterns were: rows for star reviews, columns for their specific type, and color codes for their overall family.

WHAT?

The sorting and searching was really time-consuming, but the outcome was pretty spectacular. This Periodic Table of Apps needs you to read and identify the features for it to work. I found out that the periodic table can be arranged in different ways, each one of them is unique, and can form unexpected new discoveries. I used the method of star ratings, type, and family because it was the most appropriate to classify apps, and didn't have too much obstacles.

SO WHAT?

My results are important because they are glorious and can inspire. The results mean that there is a way to organize everything. Science combines with math skills here, where ordering and daily-life come together(apps and arranging) become the Periodic Table of Apps!

WHAT'S NEXT?

I could extend my project by extending the Periodic Table of Apps, and give the viewers a wider range of apps to observe. The next step is to improve my personal periodic table by filling out the missing blanks where apps are difficult to find, or rare. I could also add some exceptions, or outliers that should be highlighted.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

I loved this concept! Finding all those different apps and coherent ways of organizing them seems like an excellent exercise in taxonomy. I would have liked to see more categories to capture certain unconventional apps.
