Yes, It Happened At D.C. Everest......  

There are many reasons why it is important to post this work. First, of course, it is good to recognize the accomplishment of these individuals - to continue to celebrate their successes.  And it is good to be able to show other students what can be done given a determined spirit and persistent effort even in a high school setting.  But as valuable as those reasons are, it is just as important for all - student participants, other students, community members- to recognize what can be accomplished when people work together.  The underlying message here is that there is nothing that we can't do if we work together.  Given the obstacles that we as a society or a global community face, I don't know of a more valuable lesson.  

What follows below is a partial listing of exemplary work over the years.  Some of it is missing simply due to the fact that pictures have been misplaced.  Others due to the fact that the work occurred prior to technological advances/availability that allowed for easy recording and storage. As an example,  I remember one project called the Radon Report, in which students not only carried out radon tests in homes in the school district, but also developed a video illustrating how repairs could be made to homes to remedy radon problems.  The video which was subsequently used by radon professionals has since been misplaced.  All that is left are the memories and the grins. :-)  There were memorable projects involving fruit flies, windtunnels, water testing, paint formulations, and .... I regret not being able to show more of the many marvelous compositions.  

You will also note that I intentionally did not list the names of the students involved.  This is done to protect the people involved.  Nevertheless, I will comment briefly on each of the projects.  Please let me know if there are any problems or mistakes with the descriptions.

Peruse the various projects as you will.  But also please take a look at the acknowledgements.  Without the support and dedication of numerous community members, these projects would not have been possible.
