 Albuquerque Science Club Trip

 By Sierra Concha '13

Tomorrow, four students have been selected to participate in the NASEF (Native American Science Engineering Fair) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is the first time in Red Cloud history that we will be participating in this event.

“I’m excited,” Kirkland Ross  said. He is one of the students going on the trip. His presentation will be about how bacteria are transmitted through door handles in the high school. “I’ve been working on it about two weeks,” he explained. The students will be in Albuquerque until Saturday, and he will be presenting on Friday.

Wendell Gehman, Chemistry teacher and head of the Science Club, will be accompanying the students. “It’s the first time we’re taking a group down there,” he stated. “It will be a new experience in many different ways.”

The other students are having presentations of their own. Savannah Jensen ’14 and Bobby Pourier ’16 are working on a project dealing with uranium levels on the reservation. Demcie Mesteth ’15, is looking at how knowledge is being passed from generation to generation.

Good luck to the Science Club students as they take their long journey down south tomorrow!
