Cool Science Competition Honorees
In memory of our late colleague David, we are honored to name this year's David Lustick Winner. The David Lustick Winner is someone who embodies the youthful and optimistic spirit of the Cool Science program. Congrats to Haley, a second grader from Winthrop!
During the Fall of 2019, the 8th annual Cool Science Extreme Weather Art Competition received entries from 264 K-12 students in Massachusetts, Kansas, and Missouri answering the following challenge questions:
Plants and animals have natural ways of keeping cool. What can we learn from them about keeping cool during a heat wave?
We have all experienced a very strong storm. Where does the energy to make a storm come from? Where does it go?
We all live with daily and seasonal changes in weather. But how does weather sometimes become extreme?
After a careful and thorough evaluation process, the Cool Science team selected 24 entries that will be displayed this summer on buses of participating Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs) to educate commuters and the public about extreme weather.
Cool Science is proud to present the honorees for 2019-2020. Thanks to all the teachers, mentors, and parents who helped students learn about extreme weather and express their ideas through art. We hope you enjoy the artwork!
