Can AI Classify Stars?

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Understanding the different types of celestial objects in our galaxy is important for astronomers. It helps them study how these objects form and evolve, map the night sky, understand the structure of the Milky Way and other galaxies, and identify celestial bodies that might host habitable environments. In this project, you will create a boosted tree model to classify celestial objects based on their spectral characteristics. Read more

Can AI Diagnose Breast Cancer?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Getting started with machine learning is like unlocking a new world of possibilities, and the best part is that you don't need to be a computer genius to do it! In this project, you will create a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) machine learning model that can predict whether a patient has a benign tumor or malignant breast cancer based on the characteristics of the tumor cell nucleus, such as its radius, perimeter, area, and smoothness.

Can AI Predict Who Survived the Titanic's Sinking?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Given the right data, AI can be good at making predictions. In this project, you will create a KNN machine learning model that tries to predict whether a passenger on the Titanic survived based on multiple factors such as age, sex, and fare price. This project requires little to no coding skill; instead, you will need an open mind and curiosity to learn. Ready to give it a try? Read more

Can Biodegradable Hydrogels Help Conserve Water in Farming?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Growing crops takes a huge amount of water. That same water is also needed for drinking, bathing, and other industries. In dry climates or lands experiencing drought, there is a big push to conserve (save) water as much as possible. In this project you will experiment with creating environmentally friendly jelly-like materials called hydrogels and see if they can help soil retain water thus reducing the amount of water needed to grow crops.

Can Garlic Prevent Crown Gall?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Crown gall is a plant disease caused by the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This project uses tomato plants to investigate whether garlic extract can prevent crown gall infection. Read more

Can Herd Immunity Combat Viral Epidemics like COVID-19?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

One strategy you may have heard suggested for dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic is to let nature take its course and let COVID-19 infect enough of the population for us to reach the herd immunity threshold. Does this make sense as a public health strategy? You can explore this question scientifically using SimPandemic, a free online tool for modeling infectious disease outbreaks. Before you begin, you will need to know a bit about herd immunity. Herd immunity, sometimes called community… Read more

Can Machine Learning Forecast Future Sea Levels?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Global sea levels are rising, but modeling and predicting them can be challenging with more and more extreme weather events. Can we use machine learning to track and predict sea level changes? In this science project, you will use previously collected data and machine learning to see if you can predict future relative sea level changes. Read more

Can Machine Learning Solve a Maze?

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Using artificial intelligence (AI) is easier and more accessible than ever! In this project, you will teach an AI to solve any maze. This project requires little to no coding skills; instead you will need curiosity, creativity, and a critical eye. Why not give it a try yourself? Read more

Can Peppermint Improve Reaction Times?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Did you know that some teachers give their students a peppermint candy on state testing days? Is it to give the kids sweet-smelling breath? Or are the teachers hoping for something more on the important testing day? In this human biology science fair project, you'll explore whether or not peppermint influences scores on different types of tests. Read more

Can Visualization Improve Your Sports Performance?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Did you know that athletes use visualization of sports tasks to score the winning shot in sporting games? Check out how much visualization impacts your precision in sports with this science project idea. Read more
