Indian American Isha Jain won the top honors, and a $100,000 scholarship – for a pretty incredible experiment about bone growth [1] in Zebra Fish. This win made me think of Hyphen contributor (Issue 11) Leena Pendharker, who wrote about the film she is making that focuses on a little Indian American girl and her science fair experiment [2].

I was never a science or math whiz, even though I remember working with my dad to enter some science fairs when I was in elementary school that were then displayed at the mall. It was a simple diorama that showed how windmills worked, or something. Does anyone have any good science fair stories?
