Creating My Own Console

In March of 2017, the Nueva School hosted their annual STEM Fair. As part of both science and STEM club, I participated with one of my favorite projects, building a "Nintendo Switch"-like console from scratch. The essential concept of this project was using a Raspberry Pi (a small microcomputer) to emulate games similar to ones played on a Nintendo Switch. What makes this project a portable gaming machine is the fact that it has a removable gamepad (connected via Bluetooth) and it can also be connected to a TV, just like a portable console system.

The project was extremely fun, and both my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed playing with the end product!
