Alexandra Holden from Fairfield shares insights at National Science Teaching Association conference

Fairfield High School graduate Alexandra Holden recently presented her research at the National Science Teaching Association National Conference on Science Education in Denver, Colorado. Holden was among seven Wartburg College students who presented their research at the conference. She hails from Fairfield and focused on the topic “Composting with Cockroaches in Northeast Iowa K-12 Schools.”

During the conference, Michael Bechtel, an associate professor of science education at Wartburg, also presented his research on “Bat Houses to Reduce Malaria Infections and International Progress.” This research aims to establish sustainable bat houses in tropical regions as a way to combat malaria infections. Bechtel expressed his pride in the Wartburg students and their dedication to their research efforts.

The research presentations and conference attendance were made possible thanks to the support from Wartburg’s undergraduate research program, Student Senate, and the college’s NSTA chapter. This opportunity allowed students like Alexandra Holden to showcase their work on a national platform and engage with educators and experts in the field of science education.
