A team of students from BASIS Goodyear won first place in the junior division at the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair over the weekend.
Students Emma Billhymer, Colston Duce-Romero and Charlemagne Rafaei developed a project examining the use of sound-absorbing paint to reduce classroom noise. The idea originated from their own experience with noise disruptions from neighboring classrooms.
The project focused on identifying a cost-effective method schools could use to improve classroom conditions.
