My High School, Nichols, requires every senior to have a Senior Thesis in order to graduate. This
thesis can be virtually anything as long as it is unique and your own work. I am still in the early stages
of my thesis and I have considered two possible projects: A self-driving lidar robot or analyzing trends within a Big Data set.
The former is self explanatory, my FRC programming mentor purchased a lidar sensor two years ago and has allowed me to use it for
my project. If I can get satisfactory results, I hope to teach my younger programmers how to use the sensor for our future Robots.
The other project is also very interesting to me because there exists so much open data online on almost anything, and it would
be very interesting to see what I could learn about my own community or even the nation, using this data.
