## Resource

A teen genius turns duct tape into a macaw-inspired prom masterpiece—complete with wings, feathers, and a headpiece—designed to raise awareness for endangered birds. Sixteen-year-old Rio Larson, a future wildlife vet, crafted her entire outfit from 56 rolls of tape, inspired by the vibrant scarlet macaw. Though some feathers started falling out on prom night (“the bird starting to molt”), her creativity earned her a finalist spot in the “Stuck at Prom” scholarship contest. With public voting still open until July 13th, Rio’s campaign is asking listeners to vote—not just for fashion, but for conservation. The winner gets a $10,000 scholarship to help fund her dream of saving birds through science and veterinary care.
