coding vs physics

july 31st, 2026

never before had i thought that i would spend the entire summer STUDYING. faced with the dilemma of my school not offering hl physics (high level physics) as an option, i am forced to take other courses outside of school to boost this aspect. i am currently studying ap physics, but im also stuck. at the first unit. it's been 2 days since i last touched that textbook (ive been coding since) and i can't help but wonder; was this decision really right? am i truly cut out for engineering?


farming idea

july 30th, 2026

in grade 8 i once had to do a project; solve a SDG (sustainable development goal) in my own way. i pitched layered farming, which got overriden by a music project that helps dementia patients. looking back, there was definitely a solution to layered farming. with the amazon rainforest losing space and wildlife all around the world losing their homes, it would be a true lifesaver if humans were able to invent layered farms that occupy less horizontal space. however, the biggest problem i see with that is that sunlight may not be able to penetrate all the layers of plants. for this i see two solutions. mirrors and lenses that amplify the sunlight, or a layering strategy where the plants that need the most sunlight are at the top and the crops that need the least are at the bottom. should i make a 3d model of this?
