Maryland & Virginia Winners!

We have our winners of the BKFK Maryland Challenge & the BKFK Virginia Challenge! The winners were celebrated yesterday during a special awards ceremony at the Maryland Science Center, Baltimore, MD.

12 years old Edward won first place from Maryland. His idea is to seed clouds with calcium carbonate, which is an acidity reducer used in many industrial plants to reduce carbonic acid emission, to seed clouds potentially containing acid rain. More

12 years old Elizabeth won first place from Virginia. Her idea , the Water Watcher is a device that hooks up to any faucet, and  makes a beep every time half a gallon of water has come out so you can try to finish up what you are doing and not waste water. More

Congratulations to MD & VA winners! Next week, we will announce winners of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Stay Tuned!
