In 2017, Beckman Foundation and Chapman University partnered on this award, which is now called the Beckman-Chapman Young Scientist Award<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On August\u00a018, Schmid College recognized the first Chapman-OCSEF Youth Innovation Award winners, a group of middle and high school students who participated in this year\u2019s\u00a0Orange County Science and Engineering Fair<\/a>
\n(OCSEF). Celebrating its 60th\u00a0anniversary this year, OCSEF is a nonprofit organization that highlights innovative research done by students in the Orange County area. Chapman\u2019s involvement not only highlighted the best student research the fair had to offer, but also allowed Schmid College to partner with\u00a0Ideation Lab<\/a>\u00a0to provide visually creative presentations of the work.<\/p>\n

The Chapman-OCSEF\u00a0Youth Innovation Award was given to 8 students from around the Orange County area. Their research was deeply complex, ranging from mathematical models tracking the growth of stem cell driven cell clusters to the creation of a device inspired by mosquitoes to accurately identify and locate humans. Arnold Sugarman, a former Chapman professor who retired in 2010 and who is on the board of directors for OCSEF, helped to facilitated Schmid\u2019s recent involvement with the fair.<\/p>\n

The awards recognized the scientific “process” as much as the “results” of the students efforts. \u201cWe saw something special in these projects,\u201d said Schmid College Dean, Andrew Lyon. \u201cThese projects exemplified the value of being a scientist.\u201d An incredible amount of scientific inquisitiveness on the part of these students drove them to not only ask the questions, but to also try and find the answers.<\/p>\n

\"Students<\/a>

Student Thomas Yoshizumi demonstrates how to levitate lightweight objects using sound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The research itself covered many topics within the realm of science and each project was incredibly in-depth. Take Thomas Yoshizumi, a student at Oakridge Private School whose project entitled \u201cLevitation with Sound\u201d involved building a transducer\/reflector kit to test whether using a \u201cstanding wave\u201d could exert enough force big enough to levitate small objects. Yoshizumi was able to achieve lift off for light objects like paper and Styrofoam balls, but a locknut proved too heavy for the device. The project was such a success that he even tried building and testing a similar device out of a car backup collision detector, though those tests proved less successful.<\/p>\n

\"Student<\/a>

Shashvat Gupta, a student from Ladera Ranch Middle School, chose to focus his efforts on building a device that was able to accurately locate and identify people using multiple sensory cues emanating from humans. The theory and device were inspired by mosquitoes- whose uncanny ability to detect nearby humans, find uncovered spots of flesh, and map out a path to the human make them not only annoying but also an incredibly impressive specimen. Gupta\u2019s project resulted in a device that used a nondispersive infrared CO2 sensor to try and mimic how a mosquito\u2019s receptors analyze and map out the surrounding landscape for humans. The conclusion? The device could be further enhanced with better technology, but it was ultimately able to detect and verify that a human was present.<\/p>\n

Just as complex as this research was the presentation of the research. Eric Chimenti, an Associate Dean for Wilkinson College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the man in charge of Chapman\u2019s Ideation Lab, was essential in helping present the student research. \u201cThe question was \u2018How do we make these projects visually appealing while highlighting the assets of the project?\u2019\u201d Chimenti said. Chimenti and his team of three undergraduate students spent a total of about 30 hours processing and building the information into the projects you see above. Working closely with Dean Lyon and the students themselves, the team figured out what important information was worth highlighting while also consciously designing with the limitations of Irvine Lecture hall\u2019s cabinets in mind.<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a>

Students were finally able to see the Ideation Lab’s redesign of their research in Irvine Lecture hall. The cabinets (seen right) presented design flaws that Professor Chimenti and his students had to take into consideration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was the first of what will hopefully be a very long lasting relationship with OCSEF. The awards and the displays represent a very unique cross section of art and science at the educational level.
\nThe displays are currently in the lobby area of Irvine Lecture Hall.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
