This year several sixth graders participated in the Montgomery County Science Fair because Washington D.C. did not host a STEM Fair. While some of our qualifying middle schoolers chose not to participate due to vacation plans or other obstacles, 4 groups (6 students) participated. Francisco Blanco earned 3rd place overall in the engineering category, and won second place for both his project and video, along with the SAE International DC/Va section award for excellence in Mobility Engineering. The partnership of Cooper Lothamer, Will Hocine, and Sebastian Risso earned third place from the Federal Water Quality Association- Federal Water Quality Association first place in the science fair for the project, and second place for the video. Jack O’Rourke earned first place for both his project and his video, and Noah Ratzman scored a third place for his video.
