Science Fair Winner Tells All

John Delavera, local science fair winner for the District 58 school wide science fair, recently won first prize with his unique twist on a solar system science fair project.

"I took an idea that I found elsewhere, and then I added my interests," he said. "Everyone has a model of our solar system, but nobody else modeled a different solar system. A different star, you know, instead of the sun. It was easy."

Delavera credits his mother with the inspiration to try something new. She bought a book full of ideas on science fair projects for him, and he picked the one he liked best and ran with it.
