Class: Data Structures
Description:
For our first computer science project of the school year, we were given data sets that simulate cancer tumor data.
We had to create a machine learning algorithm using supervised learning
and the KNN algorithm to classify the tumors in the data set as malignant or benign. My model reached a 94.37% accuracy.
Programming Language: Java
Class: Data Structures
Description:
In this project, we use recursion to draw graphics. For part two, we had to draw
Sierpinski's Triangle using a triple recursive call. Part three of the project was
the creative part, and I chose to draw pandas. I incorporated conditional recursion,
so the number of recursive calls (pandas in the row) varied depending on the
layer of the call stack.
Programming Language: Java
Class: US History
Description:
With Thanksgiving Break approaching, we had to present the information in our latest unit
as a Thanksgiving pie recipe. The ingredients consisted of the events and policies that led
to the War of 1812, and the amount of each ingredient had to be in relation to the
importance of the event. The instructions for the pie had to have the events "added" in
the order that they had occurred.
Class: AP Lang and Composition
Description:
For our genre analysis summative assessment, I had to choose a composition (Top Gun: Maverick fanart on IG)
that is a visual genre,
and analyze the genre conventions of the given piece. Then, we had to recreate the work in two
other genres (I did movie poster and comic strip). Our essay had to explain why the author/artist
create their works in certain genres and how changing the genre changes the meaning, effect, and purpose of the
composition.
Class: AP Stats
Description:
For our final project, we had to choose any concept from the school year and
create a video teaching the concept using an interesting topic. I did my project
on slope and correlation between multiple variables, and analyzed the relationship
between exit velocity and distance, and how that changes with different launch
angles. Above are the plots I created to display my findings.
Class: Data Structures
Description:
Our final project in data structures was a research project where we had to research a
data structure or algorithm and teach it to the class. My research topic was the
museum guard problem (aka art gallery problem), which aims to answer the question
"Consider the floor plan of any art gallery. How many guards are needed for
every point in the gallery to be watched?" using graph theory, a computer science approach.
For my project, I researched Chvatal's Theorem and how Fisk's Proof is used to prove that
vertices/3 guards are sufficient.
