Quest Ayotte and Jadzea Dickieson did a project showing how plant growth on Mars would be a possibility, while showing that growth of plants with low concentrations of Basalt dust (the dust found on Mars), actually showed an improvement in plant growth. They received a Silver in the Life Sciences field as well as a $100 cash award, and a $1000 Scholarship to Ottawa University.
Chloe Carriere and Caitlin Howard did a project showing evidence that Stinging Nettle improved the Alzheimer's profile being expressed in fruit flies.
