St. Mary School Students Headed to CT State Science Competition

Four students from St. Mary School were selected for the prestigious CT Science & Engineering Fair taking place this week at Quinnipiac University. The CT Science & Engineering Fair is a yearly, statewide science and engineering fair open to all 7th through 12th grade students residing, or enrolled, in Connecticut schools. An important objective of the program is to attract young people to careers in science and engineering while developing skills essential to critical thinking. The St. Mary students and their projects are:

William Tucker - 8th grade: "Sustainability by the Spoonful" which tested whether a biodegradable spoon could be made out of common plant-based materials.

Allesandra Campolo - 8th grade: "Can You Recycle Styrofoam?"

Amalia Tuccinardi - 7th grade: "How Can You Create Clean Power? The Answer is Blowing in the Wind"

Francesca Friscia - 7th grade: "Helping Hands" - creating a model of a prosthetic hand using household items.

The Fair is open to the public for viewing and will culminate in an awards ceremony on Saturday, March 7 at 12:00pm.
