Hawaii Students in White House Science Fair

By /
Four Kohala Middle School students are in Washington on Tuesday to show off their smarts in the second White House Science Fair. 

Isabel Steinhoff, Rico Bowman, Genevieve Boyle and Mina Apostadiro are among more than 30 student teams traveling to the fair from dozens of states, according to the White House.

To earn their trip to Washington from the Big Island, Steinhoff, Bowman, Boyle and Apostadiro took first place in a competition by launching an education campaign to improve their community’s use and disposal of batteries. 

President Barack Obama is scheduled to peruse science projects and offer remarks at the fair on Tuesday morning.
