Three Colleyville Heritage High School students will compete in the Regeneron International Science Fair, taking place May 11-17 in Los Angeles, California. The event is the world’s largest global science competition for high school students.
Seniors David Hoff and Archit Thiruvallarai, and junior Sumaira Ullah were among the students at Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair, held February 19, whose exceptional entries were named “Best of Fair,” making them automatic qualifiers for the international competition.
Hoff and Thiruvallarai advanced with their project “Synthesizing Sustainable Biodiesel through Chemical Alteration of Plant-based Lipids.”
Ullah’s project is “The Utilization of Labeo Catla Fish Scales for the Effective Defluorination of Water with Excessive Fluoride Concentrations to Refine Water In Developing Countries.”
Good luck to GCISD's students in the international competition!
