Sixty Discovery students competed in the University of South Carolina Region II Science and Engineering Fair on March 13th, 2020. Each of these students did an outstanding job presenting his/her research to the judges from the University of South Carolina, the United States Air Force/Army/Navy/Marine Corps, Fort Jackson, Congaree National Park, Westinghouse, and many other professional organizations.
Approximately 300 students from area high schools were interviewed by judges to determine the best of the submitted projects. Our Spring Valley students earned 43 awards! Parth Desai (10) and Shriya Kapoor (10) were awarded the First Place Male and Female Presidential Awards, respectively, and were recommended to compete in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Anaheim, CA in May. ISEF is now going to be held as a virtual non-competitive conference. Zachary Huang (10) and Scott Dillon (10) were awarded the Second and Third Place Presidential Awards (for males), respectively; Eileen Chen (10) earned the Third Place Presidential Award (for females). Please see the complete list of awards that our students earned. Congratulations to all of our students, their families, and their research teachers, Ms. Lindsey Rega, Mrs. Michelle Spigner, and Dr. Michelle Wyatt on their outstanding work
