Horizon Farms
A Grade 12 Chemistry Project:
A conceptualized idea of 21st century farming bringing it to the big city. Utilizing skyscrapers, Horizon Farms is able to efficiently grow vegetables in an urban environment, providing cleaner air around the city. The company is theoretically based in downtown Toronto in an effort to provide people with fresh, sustainable produce grown in a fraction of commercial farming space.
In order to properly execute this idea we had to make sure that every piece worked together and that the idea could be executed. Working on energy management, water consumption, produce yield and revenue/cost allowed this idea to spring to life. Later we presented the concept at our school's science fair and received much praise.

Aerogel
A Grade 11 Chemistry Project in which I looked into Aerogel - its structure and possible uses.
Cement Boat
In the culminating project of my grade 12 physics course, my class and I designed and constructed a boat made completely out of cement. Over the course of two months I assisted in both designing and building the necessary dimensions needed to support over 200 pounds of weight. When the time came, our creation did its purpose and successfully carried our teacher down the black creek river with ease. Showing how a collaboration of over 30 people can confront something they have never done before and work together to design, construct and market an idea.
