These students not only built SUPERIOR projects but also documented the entire process in a presentation binder that included many time-stamped photographs, a Resume’, tools, materials, receipts, and a bibliography done in MLA format. Mr. Trey Ellison, Dayton High School teacher said this, “The student’s binders were a cut above the hundreds of other High Schools in the competition. Documentation, proofreading, and editing made all the difference. I am so proud of their hard work and that it was recognized as such”.
