The Charles County Public Schools Annual History Day and the Annual
Science Fair were a little different this year. The projects were not gathered together to be judged on the Saturday morning of the event with the awards ceremony being that evening. This year everything was virtual. It was still called the H.I.T.S. (History, Industry, Technology,
Science) Expo, but there were no hand's on exhibits in the afternoon where we could see what other groups were doing while we interacted with students and their parents.
The awards ceremony on March 13 was a virtual presentation highlighting the project winners. There is pdf of the program at Virtual History Science Program.
CCASM sponsored one
of the special
History awards and one of the special Science awards. In both cases the award
was $50 and a one-year membership in CCASM.
This year's history topic was "Communication in History: A Key to Understanding.”.
The CCASM History Special Award went to Riley Reigner for her project "The Code Talkers". Riley is in the seventh grade at General Smallwood Middle School. Riley's project was in the category of Documentary (Junior Division-Individual).
This year's CCASM Science Special Award for a project "demonstrating excellence and scientific thinking relevant to
the field of archaeology" went to Lucas Steger for his
science project that addressed the question "How do different materials affect the strength of a WiFi signal?". Lucas is in the sixth grade at Milton Somers Middle School. Lucas's project also won first place in "Physics - Secondary".
Also CCASM would like to thank Doug Zabel, Carol Cowherd, and Frank Cowherd who judged the virtual science projects (slide presentations) for the CCASM award.
