SWE
Prize Winners at the VT State Science & Math Fair
SWE North Country awarded prizes at the Vermont State Science &
Mathematics Fair held on 3/31/07. We are pleased to announce the SWE
Engineering Prize Winners:
The top winner was Merideth Zeller from Rutland High School. Her project determined whether an
average household in Rutland could use a reasonable
number of small-scale wind turbines to generate at least 10% of the
household's electricity. The
SWE judges were impressed by her extensive and thorough research of wind
speed data in the Rutland area, including eight
weeks of collecting data from her back yard and contacting the airport to
obtain average wind speed and direction for every month from 2002 through
2006. She also learned about
the small-scale wind turbines and even built a working prototype!
The honorable mentions were:
Allie DeRosia from Green Mountain Union High School, for her project on
polar and electrical magnetism.
Sorcha Dundas from Rutland High School, for her project on
recycled energy.
Megan Resnick from Rutland High School, for her project on
the effect of temperature on the growth of crystals.
Amanda Rochon from Weathersfield
Middle School, for her project
on whether the Golden Gate Bridge
or the Zakim Bridge
can hold more weight.
