Predicting Wildfire Intensities and Locations with AI
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Have you ever wondered what causes wildfires and how resources are allocated to prevent their spread? In this science project, you will use machine learning to predict areas of wildfire susceptibility and their intensities. Read more
Build an RC Boat
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Do you like playing with radio-controlled (RC) toys like cars, planes, and boats? What if you could build and customize your own? In this engineering project, you will learn how to build your own RC boat using an Arduino and a plastic food storage container. Read more
Predict Air Quality with Machine Learning
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Air pollution is a growing issue, especially in cities, due to the rise of industrial activities, increased fossil fuel consumption from things like car use, and natural events like wildfires. This pollution is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI), which shows how clean or polluted the air is. But what if we could predict changes in AQI to help communities plan ahead to protect people who are at risk from air pollution? That’s where machine learning comes in. In this project, you will… Read more
Predicting How Urban Wildfires Will Spread
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Urban wildfires can cause devastating loss of life and property. Can we save lives by predicting how and where these fires will spread? What protective measures can we take to save buildings from the fires? In this project you will use a computer model to simulate how wildfires spread in populated areas, and experiment with different protective measures to try and save houses from burning.  Read more
Make an Automatic Evaporative Cooling System
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
You probably know that sweat helps cool your skin on a hot day because of evaporation. But do you think you can use evaporation to cool a building? Evaporative cooling systems could provide a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional air conditioning. In this engineering project you will build and try to optimize your own model evaporative cooling system. Read more
Build a Sound-Tracking Search and Rescue Robot
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
HELP! Locating survivors trapped under rubble is a difficult and dangerous task. After a natural disaster, like an earthquake, rescuers must act quickly to save as many lives as possible. They can use robots with different types of sensors to help find survivors. In this project you will build a sound-tracking robot that can use two microphones to drive toward a sound source. Designing the robot's algorithm will be up to you. Read more
Detect Litter with Machine Learning
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Litter is not only an eyesore but also a serious threat to wildlife and the environment. While some littering is intentional, much of it occurs accidentally–such as when trash falls from garbage trucks or strong winds scatter waste from bins. Machine learning offers a powerful solution for detecting litter, paving the way for future innovations, including autonomous robots capable of cleaning up our surroundings.  Read more
Build a Radio-Controlled (RC) Robot
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
Radio-controlled (RC) robots can explore places that are difficult or dangerous for humans to get to, like collapsed buildings after a natural disaster. They can use cameras and a variety of other sensors to gather information about their environment, like the presence of toxic gases or other hazardous materials. The robots can even use grippers and robotic arms to collect and safely dispose of some materials. You can build your own RC robot using the Science Buddies Bluebot kit, Electronics… Read more
