Local students earn top honors at Idaho Science & Engineering Fairs
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Hillcrest High School junior Lindsey Holtom earned Best of Fair at the 2021 Eastern Idaho Science and Engineering Fair. Her project was among 110 entries that 150 students statewide presented at the fifth annual Idaho Science & Engineering Fairs, which the Idaho STEM Action Center staged virtually throughout March.
Holtom s project, Developing Bacteria from Public Places, also earned EISEF s Best in Category in Biological, Earth, and Environmental Sciences, a Category Gold award, and a special award from the U.S. Air Force.
On top of earning serious bragging rights, Holtom and five other Best in Fair winners (one each from two other regions and three at-large winners) will represent Idaho at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in May.
Investing in infrastructure is something almost all Idahoans can agree on, yet we havenât got it down. This might be the year we can make to make the compromises and get started on it. Itâs one of mine and Gov. Brad Littleâs top legislative priorities. More Headlines
