Star Wars Medley

Winner at Synopsys Science Fair 2020

My team (with Arjun and Vivek) came 2nd at the Synopsys Science Fair. It was supposed to be held at the San Jose Convention Center, but because of Covid-19 it became a Zoom event. We were given a time when we had to logon to the zoom link.

Here is the link to my dance performance. There were so many people there .... more than a 2000 thousand people came to visit our event!!
