Warren Anguiano, a fourth grade student at Elm Grove Elementary School, earned the prestigious Dr. Luis Alvarez Supernova Award. Warren is a Cub Scout in Pack 1913, chartered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The award is part of the Boy Scouts of America Capitol Area Council’s STEM program.
Warren is the first scout in the Council to earn this award. To earn the Supernova award, he had to complete STEM related academic pins, research Dr. Luis Alvarez, for whom the award is named, and three other scientists, interview someone in a STEM related career, and complete a significant school science project. He also led a volcano eruption activity at a den meeting and demonstrated the scientific method showing the bending of light through water.
