Emma James is a high school senior who loves aerospace, engineering, and physics. In 2026, she produced a research paper on propulsion, pushing the prospect of Selective Laser Sintering as a future method to fabricate bimetallic, liquid-engine combustion chambers. Alongside her intensive research and a strong passion for discovery, Emma also adores the arts. She has created poetry, art, and songs on the guitar. But it doesn’t stop there, because Emma’s precision-focused mind also led her to competitive shotgun shooting.
