Louise Radloff Middle School in Duluth is a semifinalist in a competition that could see the school receive $100,000 to upgrade its science classrooms.
The school is one of 20 finalists up for the Fab School Labs competition. Five schools will be selected as winners after online voting, scheduled for Nov. 16 through Nov. 20.
From the Northrop Grumman Foundation, which is running the competition:
“From outdated equipment and an overall lack of functional space for students to work, to a need for more safe and secure classrooms to be able to conduct experiments, the contest submissions cast a spotlight on today’s middle school science facilities and the need to help bring them up to the learning standards required to meet the growing technological advancements and demands of our society.”
Voting for Louise Radloff Middle School will be Thursday, Nov. 19.
