Science Fair 2011


Ian and Nyah decided to build a hovercraft this year for the Science Fair. They wanted to see how much weight a homemade hovercraft can hold. Basically, they just wanted a new toy! They won at the school level and got to go on to the Nebo School District Fair. I held my breath as the announcer read the 80 names that got to go on to the BYU level. Ian and Nyah's names were read close to the very end. Nyah said, "Mom, we won because Ian and I worked together. We always do better as a team!" Thank goodness. If they hadn't gotten to go on to the next level, I can just imagine the conversation: "Mom, I hate working with my brother. I totally would've won if I would've done it by myself. He just holds me back!" Thank goodness for small miracles. The Science Fair brought them together instead of ripping them apart!

Does the hovercraft hover all the way to Arizona?

I would like to see a picture of the craft itself. Preferably with something on it floating. sted

Wow, that is truly amazing! . . . The win, and . . . the brother/sister relationship. It would be a dream of any mom to have her kids want to work together on a science fair project. :)

Just like Prez Obama wanted--kids caring about science! The next generation's going to save us all! (Although those cut-out bubble letters look suspiciously like bubble letters I've seen in a few of your old Mia Maid presentations)
