As one of the top 40 nalists in the competition, Beau received an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington D.C. in March.There, the nalists presented their research and competed for additional recognition and cash awards.

This year, over 1700 seniors submitted their original science research projects to be evaluated by the STS team of top research scientists and judged for creativity, novel approaches, and scienti c contributions to solving many of the world’s biggest problems.
The STS is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science competition for high school science research students. In fact, President George H.W. Bush described it as the “Super Bowl of science.” During its 75-year history,
