2024 Science Olympiad
St. Anslem Competetion
As part of the Science Honors Society at Timberlane, I was asked to participate in the 2024 Science Olympiad. I chose the air powered projectile project, where you have to launch a ping pong ball between 2 and 8 meters and try to hit as close to the center of the target as possible. My partner Lucas chose a different project. You have two shots at each target, and can request a "bucket shot" if your first shot is near the target. I had my launcher dialed in and ready, and landed my first shot very close to the first 2 meter target. My second shot landed in the bucket. My third shot was also very close to the center of the 6 meter target, so I took a bucket shot with my 4th and final shot. I didn't have enough altitude to land it in the bucket this time, but I hit the side and still got extra points. Our launcher easily won this competetion.
