    Three teenage girls from Kansas researched Irena Sendler, a Polish woman who rescued 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. They wrote and performed a play about her called "Life in a Jar" which spread awareness of her heroism. Israeli archaeologists discovered mysterious V-shaped markings etched into the floor of an ancient room in Jerusalem. They are unsure of what purpose the markings served but posted photos online seeking ideas from the public.
