Inspiration

Prior Struggles

  • My father is an engineer
  • I am interested in engineering
  • I was always fascinated by tesla coils
  • Tesla coils come in all shapes and sizes, so I wondered whether the tower size really mattered.

Purpose

To Struggle

  • Learn about tesla coils
  • Construct a functioning tesla coil
  • Measure the distance at which a light bulb lit up and compare that to the tower size
  • Learn the scientific process
  • Present a presentation on the topic in front of science fair judges

The tower part

Reflection

A Struggle

  • Was educated on tesla coils overall
  • Learned about the scientific process
  • Learned the parameters of creating a scientific paper
  • Learned that struggling is inevitable and the actual goal is to defeat the struggle
  • Saw how STEM Fair actually works
  • I can actually confirm that tesla coils work
  • I consider this project completed

This is the poster board that I made for STEM Fair.

Enjoy.

Or not.
