Diving deep into ISEF, the world's top science fair with competition data. Examining both historical trends and creating visualizations to help newcomers demystify this competition.
Four main components are present in this project:
- A LinkedIn Article written to explain key findings and methodologies in a narrative form
- A Kaggle Notebook used to create the figures
- A Kaggle Dataset I created which allows anyone to do their own analysis on ISEF projects
- An Interactive t-SNE Visualization to help those new to science fair to explore project ideas
I rendered the 3D Mandelbulb fractal in a web browser using WebGPU, the successor to WebGL. This fascinating fractal is a perfect example of how infinite series can be used to create stunning visual art.
