2021 Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair
The AWWA Hawaii Section would like to congratulate the following students for their project entries in the 64th Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair. This year, the AWWA Hawaii Section sponsored two $250 awards (one female winner and one male winner) and two $200 awards (one female winner and one male winner). Although all the projects were fascinating, these four stood out for their contribution to drinking water and the environment. (Select the links below to view these outstanding projects.)
