Science fair

At Success Academy, each junior student is required to do a science fair project and compete in the Success Science Fair.  This is their junior project.  It is supposed to combine all they have learned so far and help them win scholarships and awards.  Ethan's project was with crickets.  He was trying to figure out if you could stop crickets from eating crops by blasting certain sound frequencies.  Courtney's project was trying to figure out which turf in the county was the fastest for a soccer ball to roll on.  She wanted to see if newer turf fields would be faster than older fields.  I thought it was a cool idea and was excited to help her (although I wasn't really a lot of help and Bryan ended up being a hug help to her).

Courtney presented in the science fair at Success and was really hoping that she wouldn't be selected to move on to the next fair that is usually held at Southern Utah Univerity.  Unfortunately, Courtney won her category!

Normally, this would mean tweaking the project and then going to SUU to present her project.  This year, because of Covid and things, they did it virtually.  The advisor over the science fair digitally sent their projects on.  Courtney hasn't heard anything so she thinks nothing came of her project in the bigger fair, but I thought it was cool that both Ethan and Courtney were chosen to move on with their junior projects!
