Cleveland. Ohio THE CONNECTICUT SCIENTIST CONNECTICUT STUDENTS RECEIVE HONORS AT SCIENCE FAIR CLEVELAND - Connecticut continued its long tradition of science excellence at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Today the fair was opened for public viewing and Connecticut representatives Emily Cersonsky, Lisa Glukhovsky, Alex Mittal, Joia Ramchandani, and Anna Shedletsky manned their poster booths from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The purpose was to informally discuss project ideas and results with the general public. The Convention Center in Cleveland was filled with parents, adults, local students, and community members who all had a keen interest in science and student research. The students flawlessly discussed the significance of their research with all who asked questions. Ms. Glukhovsky had an extended interview, complete with high-tech audio and video equipment, at her booth with members of the Intel Press Corp. The students joined United Technologies/Otis Elevator Engineer Richard Hollowell for a dinner in a local restaurant for the annual Sponsors Dinner. United Technologies is the title sponsor for the Connecticut Science Fair. Returning to the convention center, the students gathered on the floor of the public auditorium for Special Awards. Special awards are presented by scientific, professional, and educational organizations and include scholarships, summer internships, book and equipment grants and scientific field trips. Three members of the Connecticut delegation were honored with the following awards:
The students will return for two additional award ceremonies tomorrow: the Government Awards from 8:30-10 a.m. and the Grand Awards from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
