"What we hope for them to have to clean water, so they don't get bad diseases and they have good health," said Anna Sheaffer, a student.
"I've really been proud of how the girls have taken that part of it, and how can we apply our science to benefit society," added Jay Raines, a science teacher at St. Patrick School.
The students leave for Boulder, Colorado on Sunday, May 14. The competition runs from Monday, May 15 through Wednesday, May 17.
