Throughout March we've been pitching in on the Twin Cities Regional Science Fairs, thanks to everyone who helped. Mary Pucel and Phill Goldman read through the research papers. Jim Kline and Phill judged projects the night of the event. Lynne kept the data systems flowing and trained the next generation of data entry folks. And Pam Kline kept us all on track from the bleachers.
How many of these winning project titles do you want to read
- Development of Novel Biodegradable Bioplastics using Mango Peels Intended for Packaging Film (Alyssa Wang)
- SignalGrab: A Machine Learning Approach to Helping Color Blind Drivers (Bora Mandic)
- The Required Distance between the Fluxonium Qubit and the Ground Plane for Optimal T1 Times (Dylan Tate, Garrett Garms)
- The Effectiveness of Biochar as an Amendment on the Growth of Raphanus Sativus in MGS-1 Mars Global Stimulant and the Development of a Model for Regeneration of Water and Oxygen for Life Support Sustenance on Mars (Sriram Sureshkumar)
- Using iron and graphene oxide nanoparticles to induce targeted apoptosis in cancerous cells (Georgia Constantin)
Impressive, every one - and all of them sound like Star Trek Dialogue! The future is now, kids!
After setting up for the awards and tearing down, I'm struck by how much talent these young scientist have, and how much they are willing to help.
Looking ahead, the 2025 edition will take place back at the Warner Colloseum at the State Fairgrounds, Friday February 28th through Sunday March 2nd. And in 2026, we'll have a new venue while the Colloseum is renovated. Come see what's new, and help out where you can.
