Quite an accomplishment

Easton LaChappelle finished second in the 2012 Intel International Science Fair in Pittsburgh, Pa. in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering category.
The fair is the world's largest international pre-college science competition, and provides an annual forum for more than 1,500 high school students from about 70 countries, regions, and territories to showcase their independent research as they compete for over $3 million annually. The Intel ISEF is the premier global science competition for students in grades 9–12.
The first-place winner in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering category is from Kazakhstan.
Easton was featured in the magazine Popular Mechanics last year. To see article go here: http://tinyurl.com/6m5ylmk
