I am currently working on my STEM Senior Engineering Capstone Project with my partner, Alexa. This is a school project, part of the STEM Marin Program, but I am working on it a lot outside of school, so I think it falls under this project page as well. Here is a link to the page with more details: Capstone Project
I attended the USC Frontiers of Energy Resources Program over the summer of 2018, and it was a great experience to work with such motivated students in a small cohort of 20 kids from around the globe. At the end of a week, we presented different solutions for using Internet of Things (IoT) to regulate and analyze energy usage, leading to energy conservation. My group's idea was to create a mobile app that was a competition where people get points for beneficial energy actions. Our assignment was to create a 5 minute movie about our idea, which can be found below. We each had different roles in the development of our product, and I decided to take our idea even further by actually designing a mobile application to prototype a design, which can be found at this link:
On the log in screen, there are five different names you can type in: Elianna, Elijah, Shani, Shant, and Tyler. Each name has different statistics associated with it. However, if you don't type anything in or misspell a name, it will default to my user (Tyler).
Here is the movie that my group made as well:
Magic LED Switchbox
This is a magic LED switch box I made. I designed and 3D printed the red case, which covers the "magic" inside. In this trick, the colored switches and LEDs can be moved around all you want, but each color switch still turns on the corresponding colored LED every single time! Can you figure out how it works?!?! Let me know what you think!
Clash Royale Draft Simulator
I made a guide for the Clash Royale draft mode and it acts as a draft simulator. Note that this only simulates the actual draft, then you have to go into your app and add the cards to a new deck. Then, you can battle a friend using the friendly battle mode. This app only works when you and a friend are in person, and can hand the device that this draft sim is running on back and forth. Feel free to check it out thought just for fun, even if you aren’t with a friend right now.
It is made in Code Studio's App Lab, a free to use coding environment that uses Javascript. It is web-based and everything is saved in the cloud.
Hope you like it and feel free to share with your friends!

LEGO Remote Control Car
Yep, I still play with Legos from time to time. But now, instead of acting out Star Wars scenes, I design complex models. I designed and built a Lego remote control car from scratch that can move forward, back, and turn. Here are some pictures of it being built. 2015
I am really interested in how things work, how things move, so cars are naturally something that have fascinated me from a young age. Building with Legos allowed me to explore a simple RC car design that was relatively inexpensive. The basic concepts that I learn from projects like this, such as how a gear box works (see my Lego solar car), are very helpful for when I go build something real, like a robot for my school's robotics team.
3D Prints Here is a sampling of some of the many prints I've designed and printed.
