WSSEF in the Age of Covid: MST Jrs. Succeed!

The Washington State Science and Engineering Fair was held virtually this year due to COVID-19. Students presented their work to judges via Zoom breakout sessions. MST juniors Gareth Starratt and Justine Pendergraft competed with their project, Implementing Visual and Thermal Imaging Techniques for Disease and Invasive Species Analysis in Forestry. They were picked to represent Washington State at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.  Regeneron ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college science competition with 1,800 young entrepreneurs and innovators from 80+ countries worldwide. Sadly, though, this year’s ISEF has been canceled, but way to go, Gareth and Justine!
