The recipients are Cassandra Ellenberger and Chloe Gohlke from River Ridge High School, Danielle Kremer from Sequoyah High School, and Madison Mejia and Grace Needham from Woodstock High School.

This program enhances science and math instruction while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students.
