What does art have to do with science? “Art has been important to STEM in the past. Our logo was designed by a student. We like to reach out and show that art is part of science, technology, engineering and mathematics,” said Marjorie Mauck, STEM Council member and organizer of the art competition. Approximately 35 students from fifth grade through high school participated. The theme was “Balancing the clean energy equation.”

The following students won honors:

My artwork also shows the magnitude of clean energy with the contrast in size between the windmill and the girl.
