Four students from TMP-Marian High School traveled to Wichita with entries for the Kansas State Science and Engineering Fair on Friday, March 29.

The Kansas Science Fair is a great opportunity for young people to advance to higher levels in leadership and problem solving.

Carlos Schwindt, Nathan Stark, and Ben Pfannenstiel cooperated on an entry which examined the water quality of Big Creek at various locations and times. Their project was awarded the Gold Medal in the Environmental Science Category and also qualified as the Kansas Entry in the National Competition for the Stockholm Junior Water Prize to be held this summer.

Ian Chiu researched the behavior of a chemical system as it produced electrical energy over an extended period of time. He was awarded a Bronze Medal in the Energy and Chemistry section of the competition.

“What a great showing for those students! How cool to have three of them qualify for the National event. Well done Randy Brull, Science Department and all of their teachers,” said Chad Meitner, principal.
