Ignition Hacks 2025

In collaboration with Olivia Pu (my twin sister), I won Best Woman's Hack at Ignition Hacks v. 6! My favourite aspect of this experience was being able to learn, interact with Ignition hacks sponsors, and meet other people with a similar passion for coding! You can find our project, WhiskIt, in my Portfolio page; and you can discover more about my experience in my Blog!

Summer Of Making

This Hack Club event is still ongoing! Currently, I have completed 2 projects (explore them in my projects page!) and plan to finish at least 2 more by the end of this summer. I continue to familiarize myself with various programming concepts and tools by particpating in Hack Club workshops and completing my own personal projects to recieve shells as rewards (they can be traded in the shop) !

Parkrun

During my first parkrun, I beat my previous PB in the 5K with a time of 23 minutes and 49 seconds! However, the most valuable part of this run was being able to experience the joy of running with my family and friends.

Track and Field Season

After receiving 5 ribbons at my school's Track and Field event, I represented Crosby in the 1500m and Standing Long Jump in the Area Track and Field meet; placing 1st and 3rd, respectively. As the first and second athletes of every event and grade move on to represent their Area at Regionals, I was eligible to participate in the 1500m race at Bill Crothers SS on June 17. In the end, I placed 6th with a time of 5 minutes and 45 seconds!

Poetry Slam

I was a contributor to Crosby's Poetry Slam club & team as a writer and volunteer who indulged in the art of poetry and helped organizers prepare for the Regionals competiton. In the Area competition, Regional competition, and Finals, we placed first, second, and third, respectively!

CanAI contest

With Olivia, I programmed REVUZE, an (as quoted from our github repository README) "analytical tool designed to help businesses enhance their customer service by providing valuable input into their areas of improvement through the analysis of Google reviews. The application consists of a web scraper which accesses the reviews, a sentiment analyzer, and a keyword extractor." Instead of the expected Scratch project, we created a Python script and also a video that pitches our application. To find out more about our project, visit my projects page or this github repo.

Let's Talk Science Challenge

Throughout the period of 4 months, I participated in the Let's Talk Science Challenge with my twin sister Olivia as Hyposulfite. We managed to study the handbook extensively while prioritizing math competition preparation, and placed Bronze in a nationwide event!

Gauss Competition

In the Gauss Competition, which is hosted by the University of Waterloo, I received the Outstanding Performance certificate for the highest score in my school (perfect)! The competition is challenging and though-provoking, so I was delighted with my performance.

Mathematica

I scored perfect on Mathematica, a math contest with 40 questions that are finished in 1 hour and 15 minutes! Afterwards, I received a medal celebrating my merit and a certificate of distinction.

Caribou

Over the course of 5 months (excluding December and March as a result of the winter and march break), I endured through Caribou competitions and endulged myself into the website's engaging games and history content to secure a 95% average across the five contests (3 perfect). In the Caribou Cup, I placed 28th out of 19377 students in the WORLD, 25th out of 15264 participants in Canada, 2nd out of 317 students in York Region District School Board, and finally 1st out of 142 participants in Crosby Heights Public School!

Crosby Heights Wind Ensemble

Despite being a Year 1 after joining Crosby in 2024, I made the school band and collaborated with my fellow band members to achieve a Silver Plus Award at OBA and 2 Gold Awards at MusicFest Nationals for both the sightreading and onstage band performance sections. These competitions were mostly attended by high schools, so I was overjoyed to particpate in this fun and enlightening experience with my bandmates after practicing for an entire year (100 hours total from both band practice and self-directed practice)!

AMC 8

I made the Honour Roll for the AMC 8, a major competition with competitors all over the world, in Grade 7. I scored in the top 5% of all participants.

Volleyball Season

I was a member of Crosby's Intermediate Volleyball team which placed first in two tournaments and won 2nd place at the Area meet.

High Seas

I created 3 projects (explore them in my projects page!) throughout a four month period by particpating in various workshops and engaging in personal journeys into web design. By shipping my projects, I received doubloons (the high seas currency), which earned me 2 magnetic Rubik's cubes, a lockpick set, a boba tea plushie, and multiple sticker packs!

CJMC

After skipping half a school day to participate in the CJMC, I received an honourable mention in the Central Ontario Region!

Integirls Toronto Fall Math Competition

In our team, The Power of Two, I placed first with Olivia in the 2024 Integirls Fall Math compeition (Toronto chapter)! This event was sponsored by WolframAlpha, Jane Street, HRT, and attended by an inaugural executive actuary.

Cross Country Season

During the first two months of school, I eagerly participated in Cross County practices at my school and was accepted into the school team. In the Area Cross Country meet, I placed 2nd out of more than a hundred participants! The next round of competition, I placed 16th in a challenging field of the top 120 runners in the York Region! To commemorate my performances, I later received an award for being a "Top Performer" in Crosby Heights Public School.

Ignition Hacks

I was one of few middle school students that were accepted into a hackathon targeted mainly towards high-school students. In a team of four, I helped create WRAB, a Running Route generator (explore it in my Projects page!).

Trivia Questioneers

Although I was still in grade 6 and was unable to be part of the Intermediate Trivia team in Charles Howitt, I was selected to create question sets for the school's team under the supervision of the Trivia coach. This team went on to win Areas, Regionals, and Nationals! It was an amazing experience to pursue my interest in Trivia alongisde some of the best grade 7 and 8 trivia enthusiasts!

Charles Howitt Band

During my introductory year to Band, I joined Charles Howitt's Intermediate Band and performed for the School parents and students in multiple concerts.

Cross Country Season

After moving to Richmond Hill, I was forced to adjust to York Region's cross country courses. However, I still placed 4th at Areas and 60th at Regionals (basically Cities in Toronto but for York Region as a whole) while representing Charles Howitt!

THINK & Characteristic Awards

During a 4 year period, I was awarded awards for character excellence, including Responsibility (4 years in a row!), Co-operation, and Respect certificates. After moving to a different school with no character awards, I continue to demonstrate these characteristics with integrity! However, I also received a THINK award for extensive detail in all my assignments at H.G. Bernard.

Caribou Contest

In 2023, I achieved a perfect score (1st out of 12300) in the Caribou Competition for January. The Caribou Contests are a series of 5 contests that span an entire school year from October to May. The winners of each contest (typically ones with perfect scores) are commemorated for their performances and the OVERALL winners are given prizes based on their placements!

Caribou Contest CUP

In grade 5, I participated in the Caribou Competition for the grade 5/6 category. I scored perfect on 4 out of a total of 5 contests and nearly placed perfect on the last (one wrong)! In the end, I placed 71st out of PLACE HERE in the world!!! The Caribou Contests are a series of 5 contests that span an entire school year from October to May. The winners of each contest (typically ones with perfect scores) are commemorated for their performances and the OVERALL winners are given prizes based on their placements!

Cross Country Season

In my first competitive formal cross country competition, I placed 9th in the Area Competition, 25th at the Conference Meet, and 74th in the City Finals. I was super proud to be the only member of my school's Cross Country Team that made it to cities!

Bronze Star

At the age of 10 and coming on 11, I achieved my Bronze Star for Lifeguarding after years of swimming. To reach this stage, I surpassed my Level 9 class by successfully treading using Eggbeater with my head above the surface for 2 mins with a 10 pound brick.

Cross Country Season

In a friendly cross country mixed competition for grade 4s, I placed 2nd overall and 1st in the female category after running through a complex course with multiple hills and bumpy roads!

Youth Action Committee of Richmond Hill

After being selected to become a YAC member in the summer of 2024, I contributed to my commmunity by organizing events for students to develop soft skills and hosting celebrations for Halloween and Christmas. Along the way, I was able to meet many like-minded students, many of which were in high school, who shared the same interest of giving back to their community! In the end, I received 35 volunteer hours in recognition of my involvement in the committee.

Cadets Program

Throughout the training year, I participated in cadet-related activities such as drill and was educated in the Canadian Military and its air forces. I also developed my Marksmanship skills (shot lead pellets at paper targets) and became a valued member of the cadet community as I was promoted to LAC (leading Air Cadet)!

VEX Robotics

I volunteered to queue highschool VEX Robotics participants at the Pan-Am centre to ensure all teams were ready before their rounds. Over the course of 4 hours, I was able to help event coordinators organize teams and find missing team members.

Neighbourhood Watch Program

I canvassed the Neighbourhood Watch Program for the Mill Pond Community on behalf of Ward 4 Councillor Simon Cui. Walking in the heat door-to-door, I was able to meet members of a nearby community and work with fellow volunteers.

10000 Trees

Together with my family, we contributed to a growing initiative to promote environment regrowth and account for the millions of trees that suffer due to harmful logging practices.

Mayor For A Day Richmond Hill

After creating a short video and essay about the commemorable features of Richmond Hill and expanding upon what the city could improve on, I was invited to a pizza party and informative tour of the Richmond Hill City Hall to celebrate my amazing response.

Trivia Areas Meet Volunteer

For the Area/First round of the Intermediate Trivia Cup, I volunteered to be a Runner (I was in grade 6) and I transported question sets before rounds and collected them afterwards to prevent question disclosure. After the event finished, I helped with cleaning-up.

Battery Initiative

In grade 5, I created a hexagonal bifrustum out of cardboard with 6 holes in the lateral faces to support my local community. Around the globe, over 30 000 tonnes of batteries are thrown out improperly, leading to pollution from toxic chemicals. In a creative manner, I was able to contribute to my community while fostering my love for building.

Crosby Heights Public School

I am currently attending Crosby Heights Public School in Richmond Hill (going on to Grade 8 in September of 2025). I look forward to my final year of elementary school at this challenging and inclusive school!

Charles Howitt Public School

I thrived in the gifted program at Charles Howitt and was exposed to York Region's many programs and competitions.

H.G. Bernard

In the summer of 2023, I moved to Richmond Hill with my familiy. Afterwards, I spent 2 months at H.G. Bernard before leaving to attend the gifted program at Charles Howitt.

Fairglen PS

For grade 4 and 5, I studied at Fairglen PS in the gifted program.

David Lewis PS

I attended public school at David Lewis PS for 5 years as I grew from Kindegarten to Grade 3.
