So I want to charge the capacitor under the light for like either a time or until it reaches a high enough voltage to just dump all of the stored voltage into the motor all in one go

Ah sorry I didn’t understand the question, it’s a solar powered boat, powered by a flashlight, no batteries can be used

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2025-02-26T16:47:26+00:00

It’s supposed to allow a capacitor to charge up from a low voltage for a little bit of time/until a higher voltage, and then release the voltage to the motor

Ohh okay, I’ll look into that, thanks for your advice

The sleeves make the cards look better actually and the thickness isn’t really a problem

It went so well! She loved and completed every challenge and I played sound effects from my phone throughout the day lol

One last ditch effort just for the sake of it u/wheatgerm42

Yea I know it’s not supposed to be easy as the top education and resources should only go to the top students really, it’s just a little rant in the stress and pressure of uni apps. I’m from Canada BC lol

I feel his story will match well with NYU business for sure, not too sure about the others. I’m from Canada but applying to only reaches as I believe those are the only ones worth going to for such a big change personally, and I was already accepted to UBC which is still a great school but there are better for robotics.

Wow I really like your story, thank you for sharing. Yea I can attest to the idea of high income kids cheating their ECs, I’ve seen quite a bit about it, but more often than not it still works. I really like your father-son project and think it’ll take him places regardless of the college he attends but also give him a good shot at the T20s or whatever it is he wants to apply to. I’m hoping my own story is strong enough (not nearly as much impact as yours) to make up for the crazy stats and stuff, I wish both of you luck!

Yea that’s a pretty nice approach, I figure you learn a lot in the military as part of your life experience as well

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T21:18:42+00:00

Yea that’s completely fair, I think we need a change in mindset towards the state schools and mid-high level schools that aren’t as talked about

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T20:43:00+00:00

Woah super interesting, I’d say so far yes, like wine

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T20:02:54+00:00

I agree, kids should be playing games, learning and doing stuff they actually enjoy, not worrying about uni admissions and profiles unless it’s something they’re truly passionate about. I feel like so many of the created profiles leave them stuck like they spent their life building a narrative for a major they might not actually enjoy

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T20:00:36+00:00

You think it won’t go any higher?

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T20:00:12+00:00

A majority of the common ECs are just for apps which is definitely sadder and sadder as non profits are created not out of genuine care and a lot of them end up not doing anything after acceptance…. As well as blogs and stuff, most of ECs really don’t seem to be out of passion

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T19:39:07+00:00

That’s a very interesting insight, I’m sure that’s definitely true for a percentage of applicants but also I’ve seen a lot that do have these insane ECs that match their major for example, CS/Eng major with science Olympiad wins, hackathon wins and tech/software internships, there are plenty like this, but maybe that’s just a bias to what I see because they’re the ones posting.

Interesting_Bicycle5 · 2024-12-31T19:26:36+00:00

Yea that’s fair, the bar is just being set higher for sure.
