MANHATTAN — Another year, another strong finish. For the sixth time in past seven years, a team from Kansas State University has finished in the top three in the Fountain Wars Competition, a segment of the G.B. Gunlogson Student Environmental Design Competition.
The outdoor event is a hands-on, real-time design contest in which students design and model their entry before the American Society of Agricultural and Biological 1xbet online casino 's annual international meeting, this year July 16-19 in Spokane, Washington.
Awards are based on combined scores of written report, video abstract, oral presentation, construction, technical tasks and an aesthetic display. The Kansas State University team integrated a Lord of the Rings-themed aesthetic display with its fountain design to accomplish this year's technical tasks: a beach ball launch and an egg toss.
The team, advised by Trisha Moore, assistant professor of biological and agricultural 1xbet online casino , received a cash prize and trophy for its entry in the competition.
