Adriana Del Rio
Tinker Air Force Base Texas Horned Lizard Habitats

Adriana Del Rio, from Edmond, Oklahoma, is being honored for her Gold Award Project titled "Tinker Air Force Base Texas Horned Lizard Habitats."  She focused on addressing the issue of the Texas Horned Lizard species' habitat concerns. She built six new habitats, each slightly different, to see which the lizards liked best.

Tessavale Fasching
Hike On

Tessavale Fasching, from Edmond, Oklahoma, is being honored for her Gold Award Project titled " Hike On." Her project focused on publicizing the unused trails, publishing the trail book online, and repainting signs at Lake Arcadia's Teaching Trail. She cleaned up the trails to establish the pathways that were overgrown and repainted signs. She also created a scavenger hunt for homeschooled students, visitors, and others to use while hiking. Tessavale worked with local press to spread the word about the new upgrades to the trail.

She hosted events and online seminars to create awareness around the issue.

The flyers are on several college help center websites and can be found in the help centers as well.

 

Avery Glinsmann
Book Bonanza

Her project focused on improving early childhood literacy in elementary aged children living below the poverty line. She found that many low income families do not have books of their own to read. She installed book vending machines at Lake Park Elementary in Bethany. She installed a machine where teachers can give students free coins as well. In one night, 125 books were distrubuted from the vending machine. The machine will remain at the school indefinitely and be replenished by different civic organizations and individuals ensuring the project is sustainable.

Sofia Shepelwich
WildCare Resources Revamp

Her project focuses on educating the public on how to help injured wildlife properly.

WildCare sustains her project as they will continue to use the resources she created.

Marisa Jackson
Prosthetic Awareness

Her project focuses on increasing awareness around the prosthetic community and ending the stigma that amputees can't do certain things. She reached over 2000 people with presentations showing how prosthetics can help amputees live their lives. She also hosted a dodgeball tournament with a local robotics team that helped provide resources for individual amputees to receive prosthetic limbs.
