I had committed to building a machine learning model to predict gait patterns in Parkinson's Disease for my sophomore-year
Science Fair project. The problem: I had no clue how to. And so I learned. Python syntax, NumPy arrays, signal filtering,
feature extraction, model architectures. I had entered a brand new domain, and each concept seemed to confuse me in a different way.
After two months of painfully laborious learning, coding, and debugging, I was finally able to transform raw sensor data into a
functional and accurate classification model. Somewhere between the first error message and the final 96\% accuracy, I
had managed to absorb a new discipline by pushing myself into unfamiliar waters.
