EVAN DUNNMON IS SEMIFINALIST FOR TWO PRESTIGIOUS SCIENCE AWARDS Senior Evan Dunnmon was named a Semifinalist in the 2010 Intel Science Talent Search and the Siemens Competition.

PARENTS HELP BRING CHEMISTRY TO LIFE Summit parents Bob and Marvel Hecking showed Middle School students how chemistry has practical applications in the business world. Three Middle School students, Michael Connerton, Cheryl Fladung and Cole Bristow, participated in the presentation, which included hands-on experiments such as water purification and the process of fragrance collection for perfumes and colognes.
The Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology recognizes remarkable talent early and fosters individual growth for high school students who are willing to challenge themselves through science research. Through this competition, students have an opportunity to achieve national recognition for their research projects. Evan’s experiment simulated the process called Electron Capture by which stars lose electrons. Both prestigious awards encourage students to tackle challenging scientific questions and develop the skills to solve the biggest problems of tomorrow.
