Quizza
On Quizza, students can create study sets to prepare for everything from small quizzes to Advanced Placement® exams. We created the website to help students learn at no cost to them. Quizza is a free site offering study materials including flashcards, multiple-choice and free-response test modes, and question threads for students who need help. We have aound 1,000 monthly active users (MAU) as of September 2023. With four days from start to finish, it was my fastest project ever. We used ingenious advertising techniques to spread awareness about this and the LGHS Stock Market Club.

The American Rocketry Competition
The 2022 challenge was to build a rocket which hit an altitude of 835 feet and came down between 41 and 44 seconds. The rocket needed two body diameters, one to hold the motor, and another which held two eggs. The eggs needed to stay intact upon landing. In order to make sure we got the timing requirements, we used a flight controller powered by a Teensy. Using data from the altimeter and accelerometer, I was able to calculate the optimal moment to deploy a parachute, taking into account drag and timing. Due to California laws, there are a very limited number of places where one can launch a rocket. We were planning on using a site run by the Livermore Unit of the NAR (LUNAR), but they closed for fire danger the day before. There wasn't enough time to find a new launch site, so we were unable to launch.
Even though the rocket never left the ground, we still participated in the American Rocketry Challenge through the marketing competition—a video showing the process of building our rocket. View it

Phone by Mako
We sold the phone on our website, but due to high costs of components, it was $130. We ended up selling around $1,500 before deciding to turn our attention to an improved second version. Version 2 featured hardware improvements such as a color screen, custom PCB, and thinner frame, as well as, SMS messaging and other apps such as a stopwatch and calculator.
While we were in the midst of developing Version 2, COVID-19 delayed development, increased shipping times, and led to higher costs. After T-Mobile announced they would be shutting down their 2G GSM network, we found that 4G wasn't a viable option to keep the price below our target of $70. Unfortunately, we had to stop the project.
