Hands On Lincoln students design a float Celebrating Science and march in the UF Homecoming Parade. The float features a supersize, trifold display board designed by Alachua County Public Schools Science Fair winners, the University of Florida Solar Gators human-size solar race car, a mock-up of the Junior Solar Sprint race track from the North Florida Energy Whiz Expo, and a supersize model water tower representing the American Water Works Association Water Tower Competition. GOLD sponsor Gainesville Regional Utilities provided the flatbed trailer, bucket truck, and driver for the event.

Shreya and members of the EHS Science National Honor Society bring monthly hands on science activities to kids in the Tower Road area. Click on Shreya’s picture to see their program in action!
