The Park City Day School Middle School was filled with inquisitive minds and excited participants for the 2025 Science Fair on Wednesday evening. Middle school students presented research they had done on topics such as solutions for littering cigarette butts, solar panels on vehicles, and an invent ive design to save water called the Technological Intuitive Natural Water Recycler and Purifier, or TIN WRP for short.Other stations during the science fair included “PCDSville,” a cardboard map where students and families could create small structures out of recycled material to then add to the map. One room was dedicated to robotics, and students and parents could battle robots and see who could best drive their small robot.Park City Day School students and families participated in robotics activities during the Science Fair on Wednesday evening.

Flowers and her partner, Lucy Ronan, looked to create a solution to water waste for potted plants. “It was a lot of fun to make,” Flowers said.

The duo emphasized that smoking is bad for individual health and the environment and that they wanted to come up with a solution for this commonly littered object.

Alder and her group members Delaney Hulm and Caroline Dosal shared ways that solar can be used to power transportation methods such as bikes, scooters, cars and trains.

There were activities for all ages during the evening. Credit: Clayton Steward/Park RecordGavin Faggen shares his presentation with another group of parents and family members. He said that he and Jake Wolfe set out to do something that other groups were not doing, which is how they landed on a project about solutions for littered cigarette butts.
