Our two nieces, MaryAnn and Lilly were BOTH recently announced as winners in Design Squad's 'Trash to Treasure' competition. The trailer of the show within which they will be highlighted is above (MaryAnn: Smarter Toilet; Lilly: Sibling Soaker).
One week after filming, both girls were invited to the White House to participate in the first-ever White House Science Fair. 85 high school, university and post-graduate students from around the country were invited--and Maryann and Lilly were the only two students selected representing the entire state of New York! They rubbed elbows with President Obama, Nobel Laureates and some of the most intelligent minds in the world today. I think we can all expect great things from these girls. We are very, very proud! Hopefully we'll be seeing more of them when they get accepted to Harvard and MIT!
Go Maryann and Lilly!! :)
