The
Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair is sponsored by the Community
Education Department of the Saginaw Public Schools, in cooperation with the
Dow Corning Corporation and local businesses and organizations. Congratulations to all of
our students. We had a total of 334 students participating in this year’s
SCSEF. The Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair (SCSEF) is
affiliated with the Michigan Science & Engineering Fair (MichSEF)
and the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). As
an affiliate, Saginaw County can send ten Senior Division students to the
MichSEF and two Senior Division students to the Intel ISEF. We have four types of awards: Special
Awards, Category Awards, Grand Awards and Future Competition Qualifiers.
Special Awards come from organizations
that wish to reward student research in a particular area of research or
using a particular methodology. Category
awards are within the student’s research category, such as Botany,
Chemistry, Engineering, etc. Grand
Awards are the recognition of First Class projects. Future Competition
Qualifiers are students who placed in the top 5 of
the Elementary or Junior Divisions and have qualified for the Discovery
Channel Young Scientist Challenge, or Senior Division students who placed in
the top 10 and will represent Saginaw County at the MichSEF, or Senior
Division students who placed first or second and will represent Saginaw
County at the Intel ISEF. We awarded a total of 197 awards to 124
students. Results

Arts and Sciences Academy freshman and Ayesha
Yalamarthy, a Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy sophomore, received Third
Awards. Kyle worked with his sponsor Dan Sealey on his project “An Imminent Collision Detection System Utilizing Sonic Range Finders.” Nicholas worked with his sponsor Steve
Tack on his project “An Evaluation And Analysis Of Areas
In Regular Polygonal Lattices.” Ayesha worked with her sponsor Matt
Miller on her project “Gene Transfer From E. Coli M M294 To
Parmecium Caudata And Parmecium Aurelia.” Tristan Layfield, a Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy senior,
received a Fourth Award. He worked with his sponsor Matt Miller on his
project “An Examination Of The Rover/ Sitter Behavioral
Test On Drosophilia Melanogaster: An Assessment For Future Work With
Pollutant Perfluoroctane.”
Two Saginaw students, Kyle Stachowiak and Angela Shrestha, a Saginaw Arts and
Sciences Academy senior, were offered 4 year, $5,000 per year scholarships to
