Final Report – AstroAI
Project Goals The AstroAI project emerged from an intersection of artificial intelligence and astronomy, specifically targeting the domain of exoplanet habitability analysis. The primary problem that AstroAI set out to solve were the significant gaps in raw astronomical data, which are ruining AI and human analysis of exoplanet habitability. Mainstream chatbots such as ChatGPT cannot…

UVictoria Year-End Trip
Hello all! For context, our fusion class went on a week-long trip to the University of Victoria to both explore a multitude of different varieties of engineering and get advice on our personal projects. We attended many different workshops and presentations which include but are no limited to the Fluid Dynamics Lab at UVic and…

Progress Report
AstroAI is an AI-driven initiative designed to evaluate the habitability potential of newly discovered exoplanets. The core goal of this project is to move beyond the limitations of traditional chatbot models, which tend to provide isolated data about specific exoplanets. Instead, AstroAI compares lesser-known planets with better-documented ones using criteria such as their position relative…

PPPitch – AstroAI
AstroAI is specialized to predict and articulate clearly the habitability of newly discovered exoplanets based on multiple criteria. These criteria include, but are not limited to temperature (whether the planet is in the Goldilocks zone), size & mass (whether it can even hold an atmosphere), and the components in the atmosphere (whether it has the…

how i reflected on mistakes made
This project was an incredible learning experience, filled with successes and failures. While we encountered multiple challenges like design modifications, printing failures, and Arduino issues, each setback gave us valuable insight. Problem Definition At the beginning of the project, I believe we clearly defined our problem: designing a vehicle that could traverse the icy, low-gravity…

The Finale: Beetlejuice
Hello all! This is the end of the Enceladus project. In this chapter, my team, Roy Zeng, Joshua Chen and me, collect data and run tests. Abstract Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, is one of the only places in the solar system that has the possibility of fostering life. This is the reason why my team,…

how my team came up with a prototype of a rover
Hello all! This is a continuation of the Enceladus project, where my team—Roy Zeng, Joshua Chen and me—will be simulating a trip to Enceladus for scientific purposes. This blog post will outline our ideation and prototyping process to solve our problem statement. A team of astronauts must travel 10 kilometers on Enceladus safely while combatting the…

how I rediscovered a small moon with a massive world
Hello all! For my next project, I and my team, consisting of Roy Zeng and Joshua Chen will be simulating a trip to Enceladus for scientific purposes. This means that we need to be able to survive on this object floating around Saturn while collecting data. But why Enceladus? In the context of possible extraterrestrial…

how I revived my childhood nostalgia
Hi all! I am confident that we’ve all had moments of nostalgia, whether that be seeing an old friend or watching a show that you liked when you were young. A big thing in my past was fidget spinners. I was around 7-8 years old when it was released and I immediately bought 5 from…

how I gained an understanding of Python
Hello all! This is my experience learning Python over the past six weeks, ten minutes a day, from September 13th, 2024, to October 24th, 2024, using Replit’s 100 Days of Python (Day 1 – 42). I had little experience with Python at the start of this course, only knowing some other mainstream languages. This was…
