Two Prince George students are the recipients of a prestigious academic award in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Michaela Stillwell and Antonia Tannert in grade 11 and 9 from Prince George Westside Academy have won the Ted Rogers Innovation award, along with $100.
The two were given the award after they created their own decomposable straws, and will be participating in a virtual, Canada-wide science fair this week.
The awards are part of a partnership between Youth Science Canada and Ted Rogers Community Grants which recognizes Canadian students who express an entrepreneurial spirit and demonstrate commercial potential for their projects.
