What strong projects actually look like — the question they asked, the design that survived review, and the one decision that made the difference.
Archive entries are summaries compiled for study. Read them for how a project was structured, argued, and defended — not as a template to reproduce. Copying someone else's project is the one thing that will end yours.

MCMC Sampling of Origami and Linkages
Hikaru Kuribayashi
Grand award · Regeneron ISEF 2026
Simulation software that applies Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling to the configuration space of folded structures and mechanical linkages, exploring many folding states at once instead of following a single path. The intended applications are compact deployable structures such as satellite solar sails and folded medical devices.
