To end this year of learning and emersion in STEM we went to the University of Victoria where we would present our prototypes of our personal projects to real engineering students that gave us ways we could improve our projects or prepare them for market entry.
We stayed for the week at the Joseph Cunliffe building:
The highlight of the trip was presenting my project in front of engineering students an experience that allowed me gain a large amount advice in how I could improve my product and places I could go to test my completed prototype on real race cars. Overall I think that this experience was the one that really made this trip worth it as I saw the potential that my project has and found many paths I could go down for the future.
My biggest takeaway was gained from visiting the Fluid dynamics lab a field that I am really interested stemming from my hobby being racing and F1. I learned about what people currently studying the major do in the lab and I found their presentation very interesting as it discussed how AI and Quantum Computing can effect and improve the time taken to model Fluid dynamics and innovation that could allow for model to be created using a fraction of the time.
Overall, this trip was definitely the highlight of the year and I really enjoyed how a whole year’s worth of hard work was capped off in such a satisfying way.
