Brookings Student Wins Top Science Fair Prize

It’s fitting that the first post on SoDak Does Science is about the inspiration for this site: Kashfia Rahman, a student from Brookings High School (now a freshman at Harvard) who won first place in the Behavior and Social Sciences category of the International Science and Engineering Fair in 2017. The recent documentary film Science Fair followed Kashfia as she struggled to find support from her high school but took home the top prize because of her brilliant project and hard work. Check out Science Fair on streaming platforms and the news stories linked below.
