Emily Crawley placed first in Plant Sciences in the Senior Division at the fair on March 30th in College Station. She was also awarded one of eight Best of Fair awards, which earned her an invitation to the INTEL International Science fair in Phoenix, Arizona in May.
Crawley will join approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions and territories for an opportunity to showcase her independent research and compete for prizes.
Crawley’s project, titled “Space Botanist: Effects of Fertilizer on Tomatoes Grown Upside Down in 75% Regolith”, is the result of three years of work. She began the project in seventh grade and has earned an invitation to the state science fair all three years.
