Hello, I am a high school student who is supposed to start a project related to physics or mathematics - and I have to hand it in 3-4 months (but it is voluntary) . I am sorry that i haven't used the template, but i hope that someone will help me

I haven't decided the topic yet. It doesn't have to be difficult, just interesting, and I can ask my teacher for little help with it.

I was thinking about something like making my own Geiger–Müller counter or another device. Could you please give me some advice in terms of topic? It could be anything interesting.

Welcome to PF!

Can you tell us more about the project requirements?

Do you have to build something? Or investigate something? Do data analysis? Or prove a hypothesis?

What ideas have you looked at?

What ideas are your fellow students doing?
