Congratulations to Chase, a 5th grade student at Emmet Belknap,, for his achievement at the Willie “Hutch” Jones S.T.E.A.M. Fair where he earned 2nd Place honors. Chase’s project explored the electrical voltage of fruits and vegetables, testing potatoes, apples, and limes across multiple trials to compare their energy output.
Chase confidently presented his findings through three rounds of judging, including a recorded session that highlighted his strong communication and presentation skills. He dedicated time over several weeks preparing his project with support from My Brother’s Keeper Ambassador, Mr.Anglade.
Way to go, Chase!
