Teaching Machines to Understand Sign Language

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Can AI understand human language? In the future, AI could aid in emergency interpretive service in the hospital when translators aren't available. But can current AI algorithms understand non-verbal languages like sign language? In this science project, you will test whether AI can learn sign language gestures or phrases to see if it can be used for interpretation. Read more

Train a Reinforcement Learning AI to Play Minesweeper

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever played Minesweeper? Did you start clicking around randomly until you hit a mine? What did you think the numbers meant? Do you think a computer program can play Minesweeper better than a human? In this project, you will explore how to train an AI agent to play Minesweeper. Read more

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

Classify Spam Emails with Natural Language Processing

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered how your phone or email automatically detects and filters junk messages into spam? This feature helps ensure you focus on the messages that truly matter. In this project, you’ll build your own spam detector using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Read more

Build a Haptic Glove with Arduino

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever used a video game or virtual reality (VR) controller that vibrates? The controller might vibrate when your character gets hit or when you crash in a racing game. This vibration provides additional information to your senses to help you understand what is happening in the game. What if you could feel these vibrations at different points on your skin through something you wear, like a glove? In this project, you will learn how to build and program your own customized glove with the… Read more

Asteroid! Identify Space Hazards with Computer Vision

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Space is a dangerous place for astronauts and spacecraft. Earth's orbit is full of potential hazards like meteoroids, space debris, and other satellites that you do not want to crash into! How do scientists detect these objects in space? If you do detect an object, how can you tell what it is? In this project you will make your own computer program that can recognize and react to three different models of objects that can be found in space. No previous programming experience is required!

Predicting Thyroid Cancer Recurrence with Machine Learning

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

For cancer patients, remission–a period when the signs and symptoms of cancer are reduced or disappear–brings immense relief, but there is often a chance of recurrence, or the cancer coming back. Have you ever wondered how doctors can predict if cancer might come back in some patients? Thyroid cancer, a type of cancer affecting the thyroid gland, has a recurrence rate of about 5-30%. Depending on many factors, some patients may have a higher chance of thyroid cancer recurrence than… Read more

Find the Best Place to Put a Solar Panel

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Imagine trying to put a solar panel on your roof or outside your home to generate clean, renewable energy. Where would you put it so it generates as much power as possible throughout the day? What direction should it face? Is there a way to take measurements to find the best location before you install the panel? In this project, you will use a tiny programmable device called a micro:bit to record light data and find the best place to put your panel. Read more

Build an Ultrasonic Levitator

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

It's not magic; it's science! Build your own acoustic levitator to make objects float in midair using invisible sound waves. Read more

Satellite Collision Detection: A Hands-On Coding Experience

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered what would happen if two satellites crashed into each other in space? While space may seem empty, Earth’s orbit is actually crowded with satellites and debris. In this project, you’ll step into the role of a space engineer, using real satellite data to model orbits, track their movement, and predict potential collisions. You’ll explore how gravity and speed affect a satellite’s movement and learn how scientists use simple math and code to prevent… Read more
