My Experience : The Breakthrough Junior Challenge

Hey Folks!
Today I thought of taking up an expression series: in which we can share our "funny" or "sad" or "jolly" experiences on various things we did for the first time!

So this year I took part in the Breakthrough Junior Challenge: https://breakthroughjuniorchallenge.org/

Breakthrough Junior Challenge - YouTube

It was a very good experience in which I can say I felt quite stressed out at first but now I can look back and say I "worked" hard indeed!

So it started off when I was studying at Khan Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/ and I came across a display about this competition and as directed I scrolled through the website...
I confirmed with my parents and enrolled myself!!!✨
I had promised them I'll work very hard and research.
So I think this was all around 30 April 2021 and I had approximately 2 months till the deadline on 25 June 2021.

So initially I didn't get any topic and I was sad about it: I actually did expect to get a topic within a few days, but that didn't happen.
I got some of them like : 

  1. String Theory
  2. Quantum Tunneling
  3. General Relativity
  4. Black Holes
  5. The Golden Ratio
  6. Quantum Entanglement
  7. Time Travel
  8. Schrödinger's cat
  9. Polar Stars
  10. Carbon and its compounds
But somewhere down I didn't want to study more on these. So after some more findings, I finally found a topic that caught my interest: Resonant Frequency(Acoustic Resonance)
I started reading about it on weekends because I had school work also.
Maybe I will not win or top the competition but I loved reading about it.

Finally after 1.5 months: I finally was ready to shoot the video(It was supposed to be uploaded on youtube)
The shoot went quite well but of course, it was exhausting also!😂

I finally submitted my entry with all the requirements. But my work didn't end here!
The peer-to-peer review(which was very exciting)was up!
It was easy: you had to "judge" 5 of your peers, based on 4 parameters.
(though I feel my video was a little boring😂😐)

Now after all this I feel good about sharing my experience with you!!

I am attaching a link to my video: in case you feel to go and check it out!

Now here's a question for you all: Have you ever had a mesmerizing experience of doing things for the first time? (I'm sure you must have!)
Do share it with others (if you like) in the comments section below👇
