Genius Hour
Grade 9
Researched and created a poster board to show my findings of how the air traffic system works in the United States. I chose this project because I was interested in how airspace was organized within the United States.

Regression Project
Grade 10
Chose a topic with two independent variables and compared them to find how correlated they are. Being a Texas Longhorns fan (and, more rare, a Quinn Ewers fan), I decided to track his career yards to completions and found a strong correlation. From this project, I developed skills in research, graphing, interpreting results, and writing reports based on statistics.
