(If any LAWIS award winner did not receive their award, or their certificates were misspelled, please contact Tinka Gammel, 667-9149.)
LAWIS would also like to thank Otowi Station for donating two of the $5 gift certificates, and the AAPT for the posters.
Judging this event for our LAWIS awards was extremely difficult as there were many more excellent projects than we had awards. But the opportunity view the exhibits and to talk to so many young women interested in science more than made up for having to face the dilema of choosing between them!
We hope all participants had fun, and will continue to develop their potential as future scientists!
Sincerely,
The Judges for LAWIS:
