A team of students from a local high school won an innovation competition. Here’s Jessica McKinney with more: A team of Larue County High School students brought home the top prize of ten thousand dollars from the Altec innovation challenge. The competition was held Thursday afternoon, at the Hardin County Cooperative Extension Office in Elizabethtown. Representative of Altec for the challenge, Trevor Diebel stated, “They were challenged with identifying a problem in the community and developing a project plan. They then had to develop a final presentation and present all this stuff to a panel of five community leaders, as well as a room of a hundred people. That is not an easy thing for anybody to do. They did such a good job and we are so proud of them.” The winning presentation was a solution to help solve top water pollution in Kentucky lakes and ponds presented by Sage Garris, Carter Peace, Conlee Crossno and William Wooton. They competed against nine other teams from four schools in the Hardin County and Elizabethtown Independent School Systems. I’m Jessica McKinney, from the new center.
