Antioch’s teen creator of ‘Hello Kitty rocket’ takes home regional science award
”
ANTIOCH — Though it’s been awhile since her weather balloon experiment to send a Hello Kitty toy almost 18 miles above the Earth hit the ground, Lauren Rojas hasn’t come down yet.
Rojas, 13, was awarded first place at the Association of Christian Schools International science fair competition for the Northern California region.
The science fair was held Friday at Cornerstone Christian School — where Rojas is a seventh-grader.
Awards were announced and passed out Friday afternoon. Her experiment beat six others in the junior high physical science category.”
We to go girl congratulations.
