Maharishi School student wins award at national science symposium

Maharishi School junior Raph Burne received an honorable mention award at the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium in Bethesda, Maryland, earlier this month. He was selected to participate in the event after winning third place at the state level.

Burne's poster presentation, entitled "Sustainable Insulation and Conservation: Keeping Heat In and Sound Out," used recycled car tires mixed with recycled paper to create an effective heat and sound insulation.

"Improving energy efficiency in buildings shrinks heating bills and reduces the consumption of fossil fuels, helping us become more carbon neutral," Burne says. "As an added benefit, this results in a quieter environment inside the building. "

The Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, sponsored by U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force Research Offices, gives students an opportunity to hear their peers present research. Out of 8,000 students that applied, 240 students were invited to attend.
