Squirrel Science: Teen's Color Vision Experiment
Description
Kira Egete, a 15-year-old student from Guelph, Ontario, transformed her familys squirrel fascination into a groundbreaking science project. Her experiment, which tested how squirrels perceive colors, earned her a spot at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton. Starting as a simple grade ten assignment, Kiras project evolved into a regional and now national success, thanks to her passion and dedication. Her research revealed that squirrels prefer red and yellow, challenging the common belief that they see the world in shades of grey. Kiras achievement is even more impressive considering her involvement in robotics, track, and her charity, Hugs and Hand. She looks forward to exploring more of Canada and pursuing her STEM dreams.
