Sponsored by corporations including Battelle, Northrop Grumman, and Bentley Systems, and organized by The Three Birds Foundation, this whirlwind event brought together a few hundred students, educators, and volunteers all in the name of STEM. The day featured guest appearances by DC Mayor Vincent C. Gray, keynote speaker Stephen Ritz of Green Bronx Machine, a Tesla electric car, and LEED green building tours of the H.D. Woodson STEM High School by cox graae + spack architects.
Thanks to the student award winners, I learned about planaria, zebrafish, arduino-powered cars, western blot tests, and many other marvels of science and technology during my time on the Grand Awards judging panel. Congratulations to the students, parents, and teachers for all the hard work they put into this event!
