CTY Summer Camp
I attended a 3 weeks residential camp in Ursinus College, PA . In the The Physics of Engineering course I learned about a wide variety of advanced physics topics like kinematics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. We also worked on a lot of hands-on projects as lab activities. We designed and built projects like The Paper Bridge, The Balsa Wood Tower, The Water Rocket and The Balloon Car.
The Water Rocket
Working Model Rocket
Rocket with the nosecone and parachute off
I designed this rocket while we were learning about fluid motion. It uses water and air pressure to launch. When coming down, the rocket’s nose falls off and the parachute unfolds, slowing the descent.
"Using different types of fins and nose designs allowed you to fine tune the rocket’s aerodynamics, making it more resistant to wind drag and turbulence during the launching phase. As a result, you produced a well-designed rocket tip and recovery system that reached an impressive maximum altitude of 47m." - Mr. Miller (Teacher Comment)
The Balloon Car
I created this balloon car when we were learning about aerodynamics and forces. It accurately follows Newton's third law, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
I especially liked this project because I placed first in the class car race!

Product Pitch Presentation -with Innoverge
RPH Innoverge Pitch - Neil Shaw and Allen Yamin.mp4In this project, that was part of the Innoverge program (https://innoverge.org/), I worked with a mentor to create a business pitch in 3 hours (1 hr/week). I decided to create a business in the health and robotic field – the fields that I was most interested in at the time. The goal of my startup business, RPH, is to use AI and machine learning to build robots that can help with efficient workflow in pharmacies as well as with seamless delivery of all the medicines.

MATH
Math has been one of my biggest strengths and I have always been three to four years ahead of my grade level. Here are most recent math courses:
6th grade - Introduction to Algebra (AoPS)
7th grade - Geometry (Exeter Math at Davidson Academy Online)
8th grade - Next year, I will be taking Algebra II and Precalculus (Accelerated Math Course at Davidson Academy Online)
