Research Quest wants to send out a big congratulations to Kris Larsh and his students from the McLish Middle School Annex in Stonewall, Oklahoma. Larsh, a Research Quest power-user, had three students recently bring home the gold at the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair (NAISEF) at Oklahoma State University. "I'm still in shock," Larsh told us soon after the win, "and yes, they all used Research Quest."
"After the investigation, I have my students write a letter to Carrie. In the letter, they state the dinosaur the bones belong to, with evidence to support their claim."
