Jackson Harding, a fifth grader in Lisa Caprio’s and Jennifer Eddy’s class was awarded a $50 scholarship from Up-N-Running Machinery, an engineering company from Wellington. At the Palm Beach County Science Fair earlier this month, Harding placed third overall in the Mechanical/Physical Science category, competing against close to 1,200 other students. Because of his exceptional engineering project, Karen Holmes, from Up-N-Running Machinery visited Frontier to deliver the award to Harding. Harding’s project, “Water Muscles,” tested a variety of hand-designed and hand-built water wheels and their ability to transfer the motion of water into kinetic energy in order to lift a weight on a string. Harding’s project also earned first place in the Fifth Grade Mathematics category at the fair. Shown here is Jennifer Eddy, Jackson Harding, Molly Harding and Karen Holmes.
