During the 2012-2013 school year, the 7th grade SISTA house students made a video to document our ongoing research concerning storm water runoff and the pollution of the Gowanus Canal. We submitted our video to the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Challenge, and won the grand prize, awarding us with $110,000 in laptops, tablets, and classroom technology! Thanks to our understanding of the scientific method and application of scientific principles, we were able to identify serious problems within our local environment of Brooklyn, NY, and have proposed a highly sustainable solution we hope to achieve.
