Additional Information

Senior Project for the Governor STEM at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach., I was given the task of designing a project that revolved around what I wanted to do in the future and something that would help those around me. In high school I served as Class President for the class of 2024 for two years and participated in Leadership Workshop for three years. Because I was so involved with my fellow peers, my classmate and I decided to design a walking bridge that would connect our school to our nearby library. The thought behind this bridge was to be able to provide a resource to promote a healthy lifestyle but also give the resource of free wifi, computers, printers, and endless books. The walking bridge is connected from a small building that contains stairs and an elevator so that it is accessible to all. Although the funds were never made up to actually construct it, we made several Inventor models in hope to one day bring it to life.
