My name is Azi Bendersky and I have been taking various PLTW engineering classes for the last three years of my life. My interests have consistently been more focused on the more mechanical side of engineering, but I spent my fair share of time with software on a computer. I plan to use my engineering education to build and maintain regenerative kelp farms on the coast of California. I want to find ways to both safely establish and harvest these resources in a way that restores the natural kelp forest enviroment.

JPL Sticky Wicket Invention Challenge
This years JPL invention challenge is called the Sticky Wicket challenge. The goal is to use a striking force to send a ball through five wickets, two of which are wider and close to the starting point, and three that are narrower and farther away. This all happens in a semi-circular course. Winning the challenge would require sending the ball perfectly through all of the wickets in under a minute. More details can be found here.
Process Writing
I wrote my personal statement pieces about parts of my life relevant to prompts about leadership, creativity, education, and how I live with my community.
In order to asses our writing level coming into this year we had 45 minutes to write a response to a question about how the mind can be used for good and for evil
