Senior Kim Bianco received a Silver Award for her project and a Gold Award for her paper in the IJAS State Science Exposition held May 4 and 5 at the University of Illinois in Champaign. There were close to 300 students in grades seven to 12 from all over the state being judged on their projects. The students were required to present their paper and/or project to the judges and answer questions about it. Before presenting at the state level, each student had to qualify at the regional level.
