Jacob & Andrew - 12th Graders
Golfers lose an estimated 300 million golf balls every year, as of a 2018 study, in the United States. According to research by the Danish Golf Union it can take golf balls 100 to 1,000 years to decompose and they present a major environmental risk to the planet. Our solution is a collection device that can get golf balls out of the middle of ponds that would otherwise stay down there forever. This solution will help with shortening the time to decompose and clean up the ponds from all the golf balls left to pollute the water.
Invention Convention Presentation - Zachary EismanExterior Hockey Helmet Shell
Zack & Carl - 12th Graders
Between 1993 and 2003, at least 8 players in the National Hockey League were forced to retire due to lingering concussion symptoms, and many more missed weeks, months, and entire seasons. During this time period, there was an average of 56 concussions per season in the NHL, which was more than triple that of the previous decade. Concussions are extremely dangerous, as they have the potential to cause permanent damage to brain tissue.
In order to combat this problem, we will create a device that can be easily attached to a standard hockey helmet that will further prevent the amount of concussions by limiting the acceleration of the head and neck during impact. Out of all of our design requirements, we have focused on effectiveness, and comfort. We have planned a specific test that will determine how well the product absorbs the energy from the impact and reduces acceleration. We will perform another test that will determine if our device is comfortable and if it fits well.
Weight Based Furniture Anti-Tip Device
Saajan, Noah & Pranesh - 12th Grade
Many people are seriously hurt each year from furniture tipping over on them. Data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from 1990-2007 revealed that annually, 14,700 children in the U.S. are injured from furniture tip-over injuries. Craniofacial injuries are the main type of injury from furniture tip-overs, and the medical expenditures on such injuries total 21.4 billion annually. This averages to an amount of around $6,000 per injury. Existing solutions primarily include mounted wall anchors that force consumers to use tools and drill holes in dry-wall. Over the the past 6 months, our team has worked to develop an alternative solution to this furniture problem. We have developed an Furniture Anti-Tip device that utilizes basic Mechanics to change the CoG. Setup is done without power tools.
COVID-19 Effective Face Mask for Athletes
Jonathan, John & Cayden - 12th Grade
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, athletes have struggled to find a mask that provides both maximum airflow as well as safety. The World Health Organization states that they do not recommend wearing masks while exercising as the mask can block your ability to breathe comfortably. It is proven that when wearing a mask, you can lose up to 5% of the required oxygen during exercise, which is equivalent to exercising at 1,500 meters above sea level.

Julia - 10th Grade
This program, created in Java, is used to help people manage their shopping costs and budgets digitally and efficiently. It allows you to input your items and their prices and sort them in different ways so that you can see which items you spent the most on, who spent the most, etc.
Plants in a Sealed Bottle
Sydney - 12th Grade
Plant in a bottle, inspired by David Latimers 1972 "sealed garden", is a project dedicated to identifying the inner workings of the creation of a self-sustaining sealed ecosystem aka a plant in a sealed bottle. This project's results has real life applications to answer the questions: How can we better grow plants in dry environments? What is the perfect low maintenance plant growing situation? And how do you best create a self-sustaining sealed ecosystem in the first place?

Guitar Amp
Jonathan - 12th Grade
I built a Guitar Amplifier from a LM386, five capacitors, a resistor, a speaker, and a potentiometer. Then I put I all into a case I made out of a plastic box. added a switch, battery pack, and a gain dial. Finally I tested it out by playing The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl.
