Hidden Valley Science Fair A Hit
Hundreds of kids and parents show up to see the 230 scientific displays, and to cheer on the winners to the district level next week.
Dylan Viale was beaming Thursday night as kids and adults alike lined up to play his video game, which uses sound cues instead of visual cues. He designed it, he said, so his grandmother, who is blind, could play it.
The design won him first place in the Science Fair, and his game will go on to compete in the district-wide competition.
Dylan's was just one of 230 explorations of science on display Thursday night at the school. Everything from which fast food burgers molded the fastest (apparently, Jack in the Box and Wendy's get moldy the fastest, while McDonald's not at all), to how plants can generate electricity were explored by young minds eager to explore the wonders of science.
