i sent an entry for every category for history day. my high-school doesn't have that many people doing history day so i might win most of the categories for district, some of the categories for county, and maybe one or two for state. i'm doing the same thing for stem expo, but i can only do 13 categories for district, and one for county, state and further.
All STEM Expo Categories I've done
- Animal Sciences (I studied earthworm diets and checked what the best diet for them are).
- Biological Sciences (I studied reaction times between people who played video games actively and people who didn't play video games or did them rarely).
- Behavioral and Social Sciences (I tested if location affects memory.)
- Chemistry (Alka-Seltzer)
- Computer Sciences (I made a robot that will advertise content automatically. This could be used if you have a business and you are trying to reach as many people as possible. I use image analysis, text analysis, psychological analysis, and more.)
- Earth and Planetary Sciences (I measured ionospheric pressure between the day and night).
- Environmental Sciences (I studied the soil and checked if there was a correlation between earthworm diets and the soil).
- Health Sciences (Taste Buds)
- Mathematical Sciences (We checked if there was a correlation between foul ball territory and batting averages in baseball.)
- Physics (We checked if there was a correlation between SPH levels and blocking of ultraviolet rays).
- Plant Sciences (We checked what amount of water people should put into plants.)
- Science Inspired Art (We drew a picture of natural selection and evolution.)
- Science Creative Writing (We wrote a story about how we could possibly travel faster than the speed of light (using theoretical physics and molecular physics).

I'm really lucky to have a great group helping me out.
I do most of the work, but if we need to get the work done quickly or I'm stuck on something, they will help me out.
Took me about 350-400 hours to complete all of these projects. A little over a month was invested into these projects. (worked on projects from 3am-7am, 4pm-8pm, and some at school.
also, good luck!
