MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS BASE BARSTOW, Calif. (March 16, 2006) -- Service members and employees of Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow judged some exceptional science projects for the Barstow Unified School District Science Fair March 9 at Barstow Community College's gymnasium.
The fair is an annual event that is participated in by students who attend all schools within the Barstow area, said Danielle King, Barstow district science fair coordinator.
Following the judging at the district fair, the students who received a gold ranking for their outstanding scientific intelligence are able to participate in the regional science fair, said King. Not all of the students who qualify are able to go to the regional fair though, and as such, they are able to participate in the High Desert Science Fair.
Being able to participate in the district fair requires students to place at their individual school's fair first, King said.
Students from the elementary, middle and high schools in the Barstow area are the ones who participate in the science fairs; the youngest of which are in the third grade, said King. However, only students who are in sixth grade and up can move on to the regional competition and eventually the state regionals.
Pfc. Lance Akimseu, travel clerk for the base adjutant's office, was judging the science competition on Thursday.
The projects were a reminder of the days when he participated in school science fairs, said Akimseu. His project was a race car that ran off of potato power.
As a result, Akimseu did not mind participating in the judging, he said.
The district thanks the Marines and civilians of MCLB for coming out and judging the student's science fair projects, King said.
