Ten Concordia Honors Academy seniors will be presenting their research projects throughout March, April and early May. The presentations are free to attend and open to the public. The first two presentations will be on Thursday, March 14 in the CLHS auditorium starting at 6:00 p.m.
Lydia O’Dell and Sydney Reynolds will be sharing their projects. Each Honors Academy student completes a Senior Research Project that reflects an academic interest, personal concern, or career aspiration. The student designs the project, conducts research, and maintains a portfolio that documents the project. Each student is
guided by a mentor and then presents their work. This is the culminating project for the Honors
Academy students.
Lydia O’Dell | 3D Printed Saxophone Mouthpieces
Mentor: Mr. Kyle Jane
"Being a musician can become expensive very quickly. For my project, I combined my music
knowledge and engineering skills to create high-quality, affordable saxophone mouthpieces. In
my presentation, I will dive into the designing, testing, and manufacturing that composed the
development of these mouthpieces, as well as the physics behind how they work."

Sydney Reynolds | The Physics of Baseball and Softball
Mentor: Ms. Heidi Wilkinson
"This project is all about how baseball and softball differ because of physics concepts. Using
what I’ve learned in class and through research, I compare and contrast the two sports through
a physics lens."
