Over the three years of being on my robotics team, I have built a strong relationship with my teammates and learned the true value of teamwork. When I first joined the robotics team, I simply thought of it as a STEM club that built robots. In other words, I did not know what to expect. However, ther
As online content is becoming increasingly popular for children and often favored over the traditional method of reading, I felt the necessity to develop a solution to help children to read better.The first step was to identify and analyze the problem.With the rapidly changing cultural contents and

The Mobile World Conference (MWC) is a trade event organized by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) held every year in Barcelona. Dedicated to the mobile communications industry, this innovative conference serves as a global platform where small startups and big corporatio
Last Christmas, I found a thin square box under the tree. It was a record by my favorite artist, Crush, and was given to me by my father. After reading the book The Secret of the Record by Young-ho Kwak, my father started to buy and collect records, record players, amplifiers, and other types of aud
The other day, I was looking at the list of the richest people in the world, and a little bit of Google searching took me to an interesting list. The four most valuable companies in the world today (November 12, 2020) are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. I noticed that these four companies are
The scene of students diligently taking notes in a classroom is familiar to us all. However, the usual spiral notebooks and binders full of handouts are becoming a thing of the past; instead, they have been replaced by their 21st century counterpart, the iPad. Since its introduction a decade ago, th
When we become filled with nostalgia, we often look back on our past by leafing through our collection of old items that sit in our closet, covered in a coat of dust. Regardless of which type of memorabilia we cherish in our lives, we all have our selection of old and abandoned electronic devices. A
When I was in elementary school, my teacher often talked about how new technology would revolutionize our lives in the future. However, no one in my class could have imagined cars powered only with electricity. An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsi
A year ago, I attended an afterschool academy (QD Academy) in Dallas, Texas to join the Girls Who Code (GWC) club. I am proud to have been a member of the GWC - a club that aims to serve as a “pipeline” for cultivating future female engineers. Every week, I had to come up with my own project ideas.
Life in the modern era has changed drastically. Whenever we assume that we could control a situation, another unexpected outbreak would disrupt our everyday life. It is definitely a time of significance that challenges people both physically and mentally. As people are under quarantine for months, l
Amid the global pandemic of COVID-19, there is one thing that my interest skyrocketed: listening to music. Staying indoors for a month has made me attempt and search for songs of numerous genres and widen the depth and quality of my playlist. As a result, I have ended up with hundreds of songs on my
In the recent decade, there has been an increase in the severity of environmental problems, and scientists have developed ways to alter our lifestyles to adapt to the changing environment.

The Nobel Science Club (NSC) was founded by the author at Bongeun Middle School in 2017. The purpose of the NSC is to gather students who are interested in any area of science, such as robotics or physics, and encourage them to explore their interests and test out their ideas through hands-on experi
Rewinding back to seventh grade, a friend introduced me to a volunteer opportunity at the Gwacheon National Science Museum, which was near my area. I figured, since I’m quite interested in science and I like explaining things to people, this would be a fulfilling and eye-opening experience. Now, as
“Hello, my name is Jaehong Min. I am your reporter for problem Number 14: Looping Pendulum.” My voice filled the small lecture room, the opponent team ready to take notes, professors staring at me. It was time for us to show off what we had prepared for the past five months. My final weeks of winter
After competing in the VEX national competition in South Korea, I felt that it would also be appropriate to also describe the experience at VEX worlds. VEX worlds is an event that allows teams invited from all around the world to compete in a tournament. In other words, it is basically like the worl
During the summer, I took the time to reflect on my previous experiences at the Gwacheon Science Museum, and I thought that it would be a good idea for me to try to apply it into one of my hobbies: making applications. Using an app called App Inventor, I was able to make a mobile phone application(n
On August 18th, I was able to visit the “BlockChain Center” in Seoul, thanks to how I was in contact with one of their administrators. Before I share my experience, it would be convenient to define “blockchain” as explicitly as possible. The blockchain is a list of records that can beread using cryp
