Seventh grader Caden Terence Pohlkamp has created a remarkable aquatic robot, designed to explore Texas retention ponds. His innovative project focuses on determining which designs best support aquatic ecosystems. By gathering water samples from 12 different ponds, Caden’s analysis illuminated critical factors influencing wildlife, revealing that ponds with diverse vegetation and fountains boasted higher oxygen levels. He presented his compelling findings to local officials, advocating for enhanced pond design improvements.
