My Experience : The Breakthrough Junior Challenge

Image

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👇

General Overview : Physics

  What is physics? To be honest, it’s really difficult to define exactly what physics is. For one, physics keeps changing as we progress and make new discoveries. New theories don't just bring new answers. They also create new questions that might not have even made sense when viewed from within the previous theory of physics. This makes physics exciting and interesting, but it also forces attempts at defining physics into generalizations about what physics has been rather than what it might be at some point in the future. What should I know to succeed in physics? Physics (Opens in a new window)  can be intimidating, and people often want to know about the prerequisites to start learning physics. Listed below is a rough guide for the bare minimum of what you should know before taking particular physics classes. Conceptual Physics prerequisites: All you really need is an open mind, a desire to learn, and a willingness to accept that 90% of what you thought about the universe might b

Re-Blogged : Life’s Become so Boring!💤 : Hacks I have been eyeing to stay upbeat!🤳🤙

  Hey There! I haven't been up to a lot last month because it was very busy! (I will surely jot down a blog on it!) But one interesting thing I did was I wrote a guest post on my friend Divi's blog! (It's not her real name but she prefers to keep it that way in her blog!) My life had turned out to be super boring at the start of this covid-lockdown but now it seems to be good. I think the blog has come out to be quite interesting and all thanks to Divi for helping me out! Do check it out as the blog's quite relatable I think😂 " Covid--19 Lockdown may have proved to be quite good in terms of safety but it has also changed our lifestyle! I think everyone's life(at least mine) took a 360॰ turn. Everything changed. New ways of schooling, new daily schedule, ne w challenges of weight gain and loss😛, etc. Until recently, mY LiFe BeCaMe QuIte BOriNg! : There was no fun at all, just the same routine of getting up, sitting for classes, lunch, etc." {...} Re-Blo

How to Be Funny: Easy Steps to Improve Your Humor and Pranking Skills 😂😂

Some people are naturally funny, but being funny is also a set of skills that can be learned. Check out these easy strategies on how to be funny...😁 [This is April Fools Day Special!] Learning how to be funny is an essential people skill. Most people don’t realize you can learn how to be funny. In fact, I want to convince you that the funniest people hone their witty craft. ...but only a GOOD KIND of Laugh, not an Awkward one! Give the opposite answer to yes/no questions : The easiest way to be funny, even if you are not, is to give the opposite answer to yes/no questions. Yes, it is that simple. If people are expecting you to say yes, you say no; if people are expecting you to say no, you say yes. The more obvious the better. Let’s look at why this works Developing a  sense of humor  is much easier when you can forgive people. Don't Overdo It & Be Careful Not To Offend Others. Knowing your audience is a key point to  making  them laugh. ... Be Witty, Not Silly. ... Stay Posit

We're the future Avengers! : Don't Believe me?

  Hey there! I'm back with a path to superpower for you! Recently I attended an AI Boot-Camp in which I learned a lot more than I had thought !!🦸‍♀️🦹‍♀️ So I always wanted to be Iron-Man's (Tony Stark's) student {Don't ask me why coz I dunno!} He's got amazing SUPER-POWERS!    I really wished I had those! Alright getting back, I learned a lot in the Boot-Camp... Let's first see what is AI by Definition :  " Artificial intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen " Now this seems to be a book-ish definition which I hate(😝) But yep, your question is right why am I mentioning AI after all! It's bcoz AI is the path that can give us Sci-Fi Powers! You read it right! AI has its spread all over. It's Good and Bad! [don't worr
