Use Machine Learning to Identify Lyme Disease-Transmitting Ticks

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Ticks are a growing public health concern in North America, as their populations and the diseases they carry, like Lyme disease, are on the rise. But how can we help people identify the ticks they encounter to reduce their risk of infection? With artificial intelligence! In this project, you will gather image data of three different tick species and use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify them. You will also apply image augmentation techniques to expand and enhance the dataset,… Read more

Make a Medical Alert Fall Detector

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered what someone would do if they fell, got hurt, and could not get up on their own? What if they were home alone and could not reach a phone to call for help? Or, what if they lost consciousness - is there any way to automatically detect that they fell and needed help? In this project, you will program your own fall detector, a device that can automatically detect when someone has fallen over, then sound an alarm or even send a message to someone else. Devices like these are… Read more

Using AI to Detect Proper Exercise Form

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

Have you ever wondered how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to improve human health and medicine? Computers can now identify human joints as key points to track our body movements. They can then use this information along with training data sets to show us if we perform exercises safely, to prevent us from getting injured. Create your own data set and test out if your algorithm can reliably detect good and bad exercise form. Read more

Simulating The Kessler Syndrome: How Satellite Collisions Could Spiral Out of Control

Science Fair Project Idea

Engineering Design Process

What happens when a satellite collision in space leads to a chain reaction of more collisions? This project models The Kessler Syndrome: A scenario in which collisions between satellites in low Earth orbit create increasing amounts of debris, eventually making the region too dangerous for satellites or spacecraft to operate safely. By adjusting key variables like collision rates and debris generation, you can visualize how quickly space around Earth could become overcrowded, and explore… Read more

Social Media: When and Where Do People Post?

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Social media is all the buzz on the internet. What can we do with all the information generated by millions of people posting, tweeting, taking pictures, and chatting? How do companies convert it into profit? While you do not have the tools to analyze data from millions of social media posts by yourself, you will be able to analyze a scaled-down version. Follow the instructions in this project to try your hand at extracting data from a couple of social media sites and use it to create… Read more

Crack the Code: Breaking a Caesar Cipher

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

When you hear the word "encryption," you might think about modern computers and things like email and online bank accounts. But did you know that encryption has been around for thousands of years? In this project you will learn about the Caesar cipher, a simple type of encryption that replaces each letter of the alphabet with another letter, and demonstrate how a modern computer can crack this ancient code in just a few seconds.

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

Build Personal Playlists with Machine Learning

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

AI has the power to organize data into categories—even when it is not given clear instructions. In this project, we will create an unsupervised K-Means learning model that organizes songs into distinct groups based on their similarities. The best part? You don't need advanced coding skills; just bring an open mind and a desire to explore the fascinating intersection of music and technology. Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey? Read more

Understanding the Emotions Hidden in Words with Sentiment Analysis

Science Fair Project Idea

Scientific Method

Sentiment analysis helps us understand the emotions behind text, such as whether people feel positive, negative, or neutral about a topic. It is useful for analyzing opinions on social media, reviews, or other text data. In this project, you will gather text data on a topic of your choice and use a sentiment analysis tool called VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner). 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
