BASEF (Bay Area Engineering and Science Fair) at Mohawk College	March 24/26, 2011	Winner of the ASQ Hamilton Section sponsored Special Award at Bay Area Science and Engineering Fair (BASEF) 2011 This year’s recipient of the $100 Special Award from ASQ Hamilton Section, for the best project demonstrating use of quality tools and principles in the 2011 Bay Area Science & Engineering Fair held March 24 to 27 at Mohawk College, was Calvin Rieder. Calvin is a student at Oakville Christian School with a project submitted in the junior 7-8 Engineering and Computing Sciences category. Judging was conducted by Hamilton Section executive members Adam Kossowski and Stan Sobota. Calvin sent a letter of thanks to the section. Calvin’s project abstract read: “In the developing world, people must walk long distances every day to collect water and millions die from water-related diseases. Worldwide, sources of fresh water are rapidly becoming scarcer and vast areas of all continents are under high water stress. Alternative fresh water sources are needed.” The project was titled "Water. water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink" Atmospheric Water Condensers to Provide Pure Drinking Water, Part 2. The purpose of this project was to continue to develop atmospheric water condensers that could passively produce small amounts of water when inverted near a stream of humid air. The overall aim was to improve condenser performance and yield in more real-life situations. The project demonstrated use of basic statistical tools as well as data collection and analysis tools. Also considered were the level of the study, the project display and work organization, clarity, effectiveness, and completeness. Calvin’s project received a total of five awards, including a Gold Merit Award, and a Grand Prize Trip Award to the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Toronto in May. We extend best wishes to Calvin for a bright future!
