Chapter News June 2013

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

On June 9th we had our final event of the 2012-2013 DC-AMS year, the annual DC-AMS Science Fair Awards Banquet. We had 13 students who presented their science fair projects to our members. We gave out 4 awards: 1st and 2nd place for the senior category and junior category. The prize packages were supplied by DC-AMS and local author and DC-AMS member, Kevin Ambrose. We also awarded a $500 scholarship to a local high school senior who will be attending Virginia Tech this fall, double majoring in meteorology and physics. The scholarship funds were provided by the DC-AMS chapter. Paul Kocin gave the keynote presentation and lunch was provided for over 50 attendees. It was a really fun event!---Katie Garrett.
