Monroe board recognizes students who placed at state science fair and STEM competitions
Summary
The board recognized three students — Braylen (Braylon) Dixon, Lily Sokka and Aiden McElhaney — for science and engineering projects that earned awards at state and regional fairs, including a study showing sapodilla oils reduced native seed germination by 35%.
Deputy Superintendent Amber Azevedo called forward STEM coordinator Donna Tedesco and recognized three students for award-winning research and engineering projects. "She found that the oils from the sapodilla inhibited seed germination of our native shrub by an impressive 35%," Azevedo said while describing Braylen Dixon's results and noting the student's awards at the 71st State Science and Engineering Fair.
The board also recognized Lily Sokka for an experiment showing Australian pine needles decreased ocean pH as needle quantity increased and Aiden McElhaney for engineering a wind tunnel to compare winglet designs; Azevedo and the chair congratulated the students and noted each had received special recognition or cash awards in their respective categories.
