I am Samantha Nicolas, a Grade 12 student from the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand. This work is a reflection of my dedication, growth, and passion for learning throughout my academic journey. As a STEM student, I have always been curious about how things work and how knowledge can be applied to solve real-world problems. This project (or portfolio) represents not only the skills and concepts I have acquired, but also the perseverance and critical thinking I have developed along the way.
