Youth Science Day

St. Patrick School on St. Croix won first place in the 4-H National Youth Science Day at the University of the Virgin Islands on October 5. This year’s experiment, “Wired for Wind,” engaged students in the engineering design process of renewable wind energy technology. The youth designed and built wind turbines and mapped a potential wind farm site. Michael Bell (grade 5), M’Kaila Caines (grade 6), Amyah Estrill (grade 6), Lloyd Daniel III (grade 7), Xia Xiang Washington (grade 7) and Kennely Nicholas (grade 8) were coached by teacher Patricia Dass.
