Nicole Gallup graduated from Kalamazoo Central High School in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2017. Gallup then went on to study Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Michigan Technological University. There, she in actively involved in the Women's Club Soccer Team, the Alpine Ski Race Team, and the Michigan Tech Open Source Technology group.

Projects

In the 2015-2016 school year, my project partner, Amanda Watson, and I designed and created our own shower system in which timed out how long water was running for and decreased the water flow through the shower head. We created 3-D models of each component of the shower timer design through the Autodesk computer program and 3-D Printed each component. The following year, I created place-mats from the reuse of plastic bags from grocery stores. Each project required a thorough documentation of the project, its uses, and the idealization of whether or not it could be mass produced and sold in stores. This project documentation was presented to a panel of judges who were well versed in each project category.
