HISD held the Second Annual District Science Fair on Jan. 18, and Bellaire was well represented.

Freshman Kevin Wang took home 2nd place in the 9th/10th grade individual project category, while junior Kevin Wang won 1st place in the 11th/12th grade individual project category. Seniors Evan Shegog and Abe Wang won 1st place in the 11th/12th team project category.

Junior Kevin Wang commented on how he was able to balance his time in order to participate in the Science Fair.

“This year I worked really hard on my project,” Wang said. “Most of the other competitors had pretty good projects, and it was a tough field. I was very proud and happy when I found out I won, because I had to manage my time really efficiently to put out a good product.”

Wang described what this year’s competition was like.

“This year is not really different,” Wang said. “I’ve been in the science fair every year since elementary school. I had won first place in districts last year as well, so twice overall in the two years that districts has been held.”

Senior Evan Shegog described how he felt after winning 1st place.

“I felt exhilarated when I found I had won 1^st place,” Shegog said. “I had made my parents very proud. All my work and accomplishments had led up to this achievement in the pinnacle of my existence.”
