Congratulations to Coleen Nelson-Schafer of Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School, who will use the grant to build her invention and STEAM club and support individuals and teams to engage in authentic science and engineering research by purchasing safety and lab equipment and maker space essentials; Gregory Smith of John Overton High School, who will purchase laboratory and field equipment, including portable air quality monitors, soil testing kits, carbon dioxide probes and water quality testing supplies, to support group research projects focused on local pollution issues; and Joshua Swartz of Hillsboro High School, who will purchase a specialized freezer to store precious biological materials for research projects in the Interdisciplinary Science and Research (ISR) Program!
