The Memorial High School sophomore's 2009 science fair project delved into the science of creating biofuel from algae.
"It could have helped the environment if it proved right," the 15-year-old said.
Becky tied for first in the high school microbiology division of the 2009 VISD Science and Engineering Fair. Judging for the fair was from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday. About 50 judges rated the projects.
The idea for the project came last summer, Becky said. Rising gas prices caused her to wonder what it would be like if an alternative fuel made from plants could replace some of the dependence on petroleum-based fuels.
