Columbus High School DIME Photomechanical Film Experiment
A team of CHS students was notified in December 2004 that they were one of
four teams of high school students selected from across the country to bring
their experiment to the NASA Glenn Reasearch Center to perform their experiment
at the 2.2 second drop tower.

The team, consisiting of Courtney Lawton, Gily Raz, Ezra Taylor, and Brianna
Veenstra, will travel to Ohio in April 2005 to perform their experiment. Other
key members of the student research team include Julian Hernandez and Matt Lord.
