The 34th Annual European Regional Junior Science and Humanities Symposium was held in Reidstadt Feb. 25 through 28. The JSHS is a national program that promotes original research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering and mathematics at the high school and middle school levels.
Sixty-two students from 17 European schools were chosen to participate after writing their proposals, conducting independent research, preparing abstracts and submitting their research papers.
Students competed in the junior (middle school) or senior (high school) competitions in oral and poster contests.
Michael Rynders represented the KMC from Ramstein High School. He placed second in the oral presentation with his project, “Test of the Accuracy of Radiation as a Void Detection Tool,” winning a $1,500 scholarship and a trip to Orlando to participate in the national competition.
Amanda Vane from RHS placed third in the senior poster competition with her project, “Optimal Hydrogen Production: Electrolysis Using a 25% KOH Solution.”
Christine Qabar from Kaiserslautern Middle School placed third in the junior oral competition with her project, “The Effect of Listerine Mouthwash on the Morphology of Epithelial Cells.”
Erik Langholz from Landstuhl Elementary/Middle School tied for first place in the junior poster presentations with “Effects of Aerodynamics and Friction on Bike Speed.”
All students received cash awards.
The Landstuhl Elementary and Middle School PTSA will host a flea market and car boot sale April 19 at the school. Set-up will begin at 7 a.m. and shopping will last from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
