Tyler Richards and Jonathan Thompson, two high school seniors from Liberty, Mo., have a shared love for the popular condiment and creativity. The teens are part of the Project Lead the Way program (a national STEM learning initiative) and decided to focus their attention on a particularly frustrating problem: minimizing the watery mess that results from the first squirt of ketchup.

According to local news station Fox4 in Kansas City, their teacher initially nixed the project idea, but Richards and Thompson collected e**ugh research, data and patent information to convince him. Soon, they were inventing a 3D solution to ketchup's messy problem. Read more...
