GA Science Research Students Rise to the Occassion at Delaware Valley Science Fair

On Wednesday, April 4, nine Upper School Science Research students competed at the Delaware Valley Science Fair (DVSF), which includes schools from the Lehigh Valley to southern Delaware, and from Chester County to the New Jersey shore. Of those nine students, seven students earned first, second, third place, or "special" awards sponsored by a variety of science and engineering companies and professional organizations, including $475 in cash and $280,000 in scholarship money to local universities.

"Please congratulate all of the science research students, as all of them spent the school year diligently collecting data, preparing a poster board presentation, and research paper prepare of their science research project for the Montgomery County Science Research Competition and DVSF," said Director of Independent Science Research Sarah Kesten.
