'If today were the last day of your life, would you want t do what you are about to do today?'

My name is Dev and I've been an HPMS student for over 8 years. I like to ski, and STEM is my favorite area of curriculum. I love playing sports with my friends like basketball.
STEM & INNOVATION
Bitcoin Mining The first computer I built had 1 main purpose, to mine cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency mining is when a computer solves many complex math equations aiming towards finding the coins, in this case, Bitcoin.
Bitcoin mining takes a lot of math to actually make a profit. To make a profit you need to incorporate the cost of the computer, the power consumption/power bill, and the time it will take you to break even or start making a profit.
3D printing In the past November, I put together a 3d printer. The type of 3d printer I built was a Creality CR-10. Over the years I have had a growing passion for creating things that can be helpful or just fun to build and use. The hand I built used 5 mini servo motors to control all the 5 different fingers to complete a simple task. The mini servos ran off of a motor control board that was on top of a raspberry pie 3. All the actions were programmed using python, a well-known programming language.
