Jared Schellenberg

Jared Schellenberg is 16 years old and currently in grade 11 and thoroughly enjoys the Sciences and English. When it comes down to science, Jared mostly enjoys chemistry and physics and loves learning about all the aspects of different science concepts such as the fusion. Among other things, Jared participates and organizes the “Applied Science Club” in which Sam Samida-Pugh and him founded together at their school, together, they often do projects such as creating jacobs ladders and a cloud chamber. Even though these small projects are nowhere near the level of the Farnsworth Fusion Reactor, he is increasingly growing in his knowledge of the fusion reactor and its many workings and he is confident in taking on a project as large as this. The reason Jared found this particular project interesting is because fusion energy is a clean and efficient way to power the future, the only problem being that the energy being produced is only a small fraction of the energy being put in to start the reactions. Jared believes that with the completion of this project he will be able to gain more knowledge of nuclear fusion and possibly contribute to the success of fusion energy. In 15 years Jared sees himself advancing onto the fields of chemistry or physics by becoming a geneticist or an aerospace engineer.
