Orange Students Win National Award from Discovery Education and the Siemens Foundation

The Siemens Foundation with Discovery Education announced the winners of their sixth annual, We Can Change the World Challenge.

Orange Lutheran High School students in Orange were named finalists for their project Alka- Seltzer’s Effect in Counteracting Ocean Acidification.

The 2014 challenge was open to all schools across the country from grades K-12. An esteemed panel of environmental advocates, STEM professionals, science teachers and professors selected this year’s winners based on each project’s viable solution to a real world environmental challenge. Projects were also evaluated on their ability to engage the support of the local community and ability to be replicated globally. 

Team pHd in Ocean Acidification investigated the use of Alka-Seltzer in counteracting the effects of ocean acidification on aquatic plant life.

Each member of team will receive a finalist certificate and a Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge green prize pack. Orange Lutheran High School will also receive a congratulatory Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge banner.

Congrats to the students!
