My invention is the first wearable technology for the visually impaired that resolves most drawbacks of previous technologies. I have created this invention to aid the visually impaired in their day-to-day functions. The purpose of creating this model was to create inexpensive glasses allowing the visually impaired to navigate urban areas efficiently.

CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. CRISPR is a specific, efficient, and versatile gene-editing technology that we can harness to modify, delete, or correct precise regions of our DNA. It is a bacterium’s most effective antivirus system.

Steaming heaps of manure dot rural landscapes around the globe. Why are we allowing this valuable methane to be wasted? Through anaerobic digestion, animal manure can be converted into useable fuel, biogas, which is clean, renewable, and sustainable. The volume of kitchen scraps is limited; the challenge is to find abundant organic waste that can be combined with manure to increase the efficiency of biogas production. My research identified the agricultural byproduct spent mushroom substrate (SMS) as a potential candidate.

Dust in the air, especially particles of 10 microns or less, can cause haze when present in large amounts. Nowadays, haze appears around the globe in populated cities due to rapid urbanisation. Emerging mainly from wildfires, haze is also a big problem in West Coast Canada. At present, many experts and institutions have conducted detailed studies on the dust retention mechanisms of tree species in different cities and have found that conifers are more effective in retaining dust and capturing particulate matter than broadleaved species due to their year-round potential to accumulate pollutants.

Global warming and climate change have a big impact on Earth, by leading to more extreme weather events and by rapidly melting glaciers and ice sheets. his study explored the impact of melting sea ice on rising sea level. In this project, Jasneet studied two types of ice, land ice and sea ice, to assess which type of ice causes sea levels to rise? In this project, her results support that sea ice is more likely to cause a change in the sea levels when it is melting. There are many ways of decreasing the levels of sea levels, and by doing so we first have to control the global warming rates together as a team.

After watching a documentary on climate change, I wanted to help with the world problem. There’s not a solid solution to reducing emissions from cars. The purpose of this project is to find an alternative to internal combustion engines. In order to significantly reduce our emissions, we need to find a way to make our cars and their engines even more eco-friendly.
