Congratulations to our MQA PRSEF competitors

• On April 4th and 5th seven students from the 7th and 8th grade participated in the 69th Annual Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair held at Heinz Field. This year there were over 1,000 participants in this annual gathering of scientists.
  
  
• Joey received a sponsor award from the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh and a cash award of $50 for his work in the area of physics where he investigated whether weight affects the acceleration of an atwood machine. His project was entitled Weight vs Acceleration.
  
  
• Holly received a sponsor award from the Department of the Navy’s office of Naval Research for her research in the field of microbiology on the best way to wash an apple. Holly received a metal for her work entitled “Natural vs Chemical”.
  
  
• Megan received a collegiate Award sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh for her research in the field of microbiology on the effectiveness of topical antiseptics. Megan’s project was entitled “Ouch”.
  
  
• David received an honorable mention in science excellence for his physics research entitled “The Panel Predicament” where he investigated what affects the energy created by solar panels. David received a cash award of $20 as well as a metal.
  
  
• Aaron received a second place award in the area of physics for his research concerning how aerodynamic design affects a vehicle’s velocity. Aaron received a cash award of $75 for his project entitled “How Design Affects Velocity” as well as a metal.
