The results for the 2005 Northeastern Ohio Science &
Engineering Fair are in!! The event was held during the week of
March 28, 2005 at John Carroll University. There were nearly
400 projects in the fair this year from grades 7th through
12th. We also had 20+ entries from the NEOSEF Outreach Program
which allowed entries from 5th through 6th graders. After 2 1/2
hours of interviews, judging and discussions the winners were
chosen. In all, NEOSEF awarded $10,000 worth of prizes
in the Regular Judging portion (not counting the trips to the
International Fair), and more than $10,000 worth of
prizes in the Special Judging portion of the Fair.
There were three
Grand Prize Winners (1 from the
Biological Sciences, 2 from the Physical Sciences) chosen.
These winners will represent Northeastern Ohio in the Intel
International Science & Engineering Fair to be held in Phoenix,
AZ in May, 2005. They will receive an all-expense paid trip
for themselves, a parent or teacher to the International Fair.
These winners are:
- Elizabeth Bendycki, from Laurel High School,
for her project entitled "Analyzing Martian
Temperature."
- Jeffrey Bhasin, from Rocky River High School,
for his project entitled "Comprehensive Evolutionary
Study of Disease-Causing Amino Acid Substitutions Using
Computational Analysis."
- Jessica Malone, from Berea High School,
for her project entitled "CAESAR: Communal Aptitude
Evolution for Autonomous Robots."
We also chose two 7-8th Grade Grand
Prize Winners, one each from Biological and Physical
Sciences. The winners in these categories are:
- Elizabeth Coquillette, from Hathaway Brown
Middle School, for her project entitled "The Design
and Programming of a Robotic Delivery Team."
- Leo Mironovich, from St. Josaphat Ukranian
Elementary School, for his project entitled "To Herb
or Not To Herb: Do Natural Antibiotics Inhibit Bacterial
Growth?"
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS ON A JOB WELL DONE!!
