My science/invention fair is coming up soon and i need to think of ideas for a invention or project to do. Does anyone have any ideas for a project? I was thinking of taking some ceramic based thermal paste and improving upon that for an invention, but im not too sure. If you have any ideas just let me know.

If you know how to build a pc, you should record your self taking apart an old computer and putting it back together. You might be able to make a slide show out of all the important parts. If that dosn't count try making your own CPU heatsink.

I was looking online. There aren't very many hardware only projects. Alot of them are just "build a computer and make a program"

Try looking into arduinos.

I think the heat sink idea is a great idea. I think i will try to create a heatsink that gets good thermals and is fanless
