🔬🏆 BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Locklyn Ward!!🏆🔬
We are incredibly proud to celebrate Locklyn Ward, now a Grove High School freshman, who has been named a Top 30 Finalist in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge! 🎉
As an 8th grader at Grove Middle School, she completed her award-winning project with her science teacher, Donna Deason. Locklyn will now compete in this year’s finals based on that 8th grade research project!
She will travel to Washington, D.C., October 23–28 for the Junior Innovators Challenge Finals Week, where she will present her research and participate in this prestigious national competition. "Finalists will advance to Thermo Fisher JIC Finals Week (Oct. 23–28) in Washington, D.C. where they will compete for more than $100,000 in awards, including the $25,000 Thermo Fisher Scientific ASCEND (Aspiring Scientists Cultivating Exciting New Discoveries) Award."
Grove Public Schools will also receive $1,000 toward STEM activities in recognition of her achievement!
A special THANK YOU to Donna Deason, (the GOAT ) of all things Science Fair, for her continued commitment to science education and providing students with authentic research experiences!
