They were the winners of the Colorado Touchstone Energy Cooperatives award at the 2018 Colorado Science & Engineering Fair at Colorado State University in Fort Collins last April.
Kevin Yang explained his design of an energy-saving radiative cooling bilayer paint that could be used to keep buildings cooler. Kevin was a 10th grader at Fairview High School in Boulder when his project won the co-op award.
