Two first place prizes, including $500 cash awards, went to the RibbID group, Nhung, Susannah, and Valeria, who developed an Android app identifying frog calls and the Cellobiase group, Camron and Samuel, who looked at activation levels of an enzyme found in mushrooms that could be helpful for biofuel production.

The two second place prizes, including $200 cash awards, went to the Bell’s Bend group, Arturas, Daniel, and Dheeraj, who studied the wetland ecology of Bell’s Bend, and the AgriBot group, Able and Efrain, who developed a remote-controlled vehicle with the capability to study soil properties including conductivity.

All of these projects will have papers published in the TNJAS handbook and there will be a total of five project abstracts from the SSMV Handbook and Proceedings of the Tennessee Junior Academy of Science 2014.
