These students won because of their projects&#8217; innovation and relevance to Electric Vehicle (EV) technology.<\/p>\n<p>The first junior project winner was <strong>Jacqueline Prawira<\/strong>, a 6th grader from Altamont Elementary School, Mountain House, San Joaquin County, with her project, &#8220;Coffee-Doh Battery: Boosting the Power of an Enviro-Battery Using Coffee&#8217;s Acidity in Homemade Conductive Dough.&#8221; Coffee-Doh Battery is proven as an enviro-battery that not only performs better than the typical enviro-battery, but also can be beneficial in promoting students&#8217; science learning and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The second junior project winner was <strong>Dhruv N. Aggarwal<\/strong>, an 8th grader from Medea Creek Middle School, Oak Park, Ventura County, for his project entitled, &#8220;Wi-Tricity: Wireless Electricity Using Resonant Inductive Coupling.&#8221;\u00a0This project studies methods to transfer power wirelessly including specific implementations of the Bifilar Coil and the Slayer Exciter circuit.<\/p>\n<p>The first senior project winner was <strong>Anchit Narain<\/strong>, a 12th grader from Clovis North High School, Fresno, Fresno County, for his project, &#8220;Enhancing the Rate Capability of the Ni-Co-O System Supercapacitor Electrode Using NH3 Treatment. For his project, he synthesized and tested a novel Ni-Co-O ternary oxide supercapacitor electrode with superior rate capability and high capacitance. Its excellent results are transferred over to a working asymmetric system with good performance.<\/p>\n<p>The second senior project winner was <strong>Joshua M. Pritz<\/strong>, a 12th grader from Thousand Oaks High School, Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, for his project entitled, &#8220;Investigation and Applications of the Lithium-Oxygen Battery Cell Cathodes. For his project, five cathodes for use in the lithium-oxygen battery were created, in which the concentration of dibutyl phthalate and carbon black were varied, and tested with regard to conductivity and diffusivity to optimize their composition.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to these students and to all the students who participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usc.edu\/CSSF\/\">California State Science Fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Photo: Joshua M.
