Students from Harper Park Middle School, in Leesburg, Virginia, and Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn, convened today to compete in the Chemical Educational Foundation's You Be The Chemist (YBTC) Challenge. The competition is sponsored by the National Association of Chemical Distributors and is aimed at grade 5-8 students.
The participants consist of the top four scorers from a qualification exam held at each school in January. Those with the top 20 highest scores from each school's qualification exam will receive Challenge T-shirts, note pads, and pencils. The top three winners of the Local Challenge will receive monetary prizes.
The winner of the competition will advance to the National YBTC Challenge on June 18 to go head to head with winners from across the country.
