Sylvia documented her science fair experiments and lighting design class projects, including explorations of light and color theory. Some of her projects involved using fiber optics and LEDs to create lighting designs for a penthouse apartment and simulate colors. She created models to explore the middle mixtures of colors on an RGB color wheel and how lighting can be programmed to display different colors and mixtures.

21. Use LEDs for RGB simulations Can be programmed Exact color mixture by setting RGB value, therefore middle mixtures can be “calculated” Write program to automatically determine middle mixtures of colors Why middle mixtures? According to color theory MMs are pleasing to the eye Explorations is the same is true for RGB color scheme Use Arduino processor / programming for easy implementation
