| Discovery Notes | At 10:56AM CDT on September 18, 2025, the soil sample was collected from around a drain located behind The Glaske Center for Engineering, Science, and Technology at LeTourneau University. The hole was approximately 6.3 cm deep, and the soil was very moist and squishy. The weather was sunny with a slightly cloudy sky and ambient temperature of 23.5℃. |
| Naming Notes | The name “OverPar” ties into golf, where scoring over par means you’ve taken more strokes than ideal, and things didn’t go smoothly. It’s a playful nod to our project, which faced plenty of setbacks and obstacles along the way. Just like a tough hole on the course, we kept hitting challenges, so the name reflects both the difficulty and a bit of humor about our less-than-perfect “round.” |
