Madison Lange, A tenth grader at Hinckley-Finlayson used her Science Fair Project as a platform to raise money for the HFHS Backpack program. Madison did her experiment on the effectiveness of different types of fundraising. Her question was whether actively sitting next to a donation box or setting out a donation box with no one next to it would generate more donations. Her Hypothesis, actively asking for donations will result more donations received. Madison tested this theory over the course of eight different days, four hours per day for a total of 32 hours of taking donations. 16 of which she actively asked for donations and 16 of which she left out a bucket and a description of what the donations would go to. Madison found that when you actively engage with people and ask them for donations you will receive more donations, proving her hypothesis. Madison managed to reign in $884.09 that will go to the HFHS backpack program. An amazing contribution that will help provide food to many in the district. The experiment is a great way to further science and the Hinckley Finlayson School District. Madison’s project shows that science can be applied to real life, and can have a positive impact when applied correctly. This experiment can be used as an example for younger students who hope to use their science fair project to further their community. Good luck to Madison as she presents her findings at local science fair on December 10th.
