On Friday and Saturday (Feb 25 & 26) I competed in the exciting Twin Cities Regional Science Fair!

While I had to stand by my booth for 5 hours on Friday, I got to meet some nice fellow students and talk to a lot of judges (I’m guessing 14 adults total).

On Saturday I was overjoyed by the award results which are listed here:

Gavin Ovsak, Eden Prairie High School, The Creation and Testing of a Fully Submersible Geared Water Turbine for Alternative Energy Production

·         ISEF Top Finalist (awarded an opportunity to attend Intel’s international competition in May 2011)

·         3M Renewable Energy Award

·         American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota Honor Award

·         Medtronic Foundation Corporate Sponsor Award

·         United States Army – Award for Exemplary Research

·         United States Navy – Office of Naval Research Medal

·         Top ribbon signifying qualification to the Minnesota State Science Fair Competition in March

·         Research Paper Competition Finalist signifying qualification to the North Central Tri-State Junior Science & Humanities Symposium in March

·         Advancement to the Tri-State Science Fair (Optional because I already got into ISEF)

·         Advancement to the JSHS State Competition (If I win this, I get to go to JSHS!)

 

I’m really looking forward to going back to ISEF!
