Curtis Fisher won the grand prize at the regional high school's science fair on Saturday. More than 60 students presented their projects at the fair.

Projects on display at the 17th annual science fair Saturday explored everything from the amount of baking soda in cupcakes to a recycled water filtration system.

After the regional high school science fair had ended on Saturday afternoon, two youngsters approached sophomore Eli Hanschka, who had just taken home the event’s top prize, grand overall winner, for his engineering entry, Wave Energy: Harnessing the Power of Waves.

The 13th annual Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School science fair took place Saturday morning, with freshmen Lee Faraca and Gordon Moore winning the grand prize for their project Cost Efficiency: Solar vs Wind Energy.

“We tried not to expect anything,” Gordon said afterward. “We didn’t think we were going to win.”

Lee and Gordon were also awarded first prize in the environmental science division and took home the David Brand award for “an outstanding project related to earth science.”

Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School is proud to announce its 9th annual science fair winners:
