Science Research Students Win Awards

Yesterday the sophomores in Bronxville's Science Research course participated in the Annual White Plains Invitational, a science research fair for high school sophomores. Our students' posters/research plans were entered in the Biochemistry (Jaime), Health and Medicine (Duncan and Jackie), and Behavior (Tepi) Categories. Tepi garnered a THIRD PLACE award in one of the Behavior Categories and Jamie was awarded a THIRD PLACE award in one of the Biochemistry Categories.

Tepi proudly bears her Third Place Trophy.  Jaime, his sister, and Victoria surround Tepi with a wall of smiles and joy.

 Jaime has also been awarded THIRD PLACE award in the Biochemistry Category. His trophy is on it way, as the judges noticed a miscalculation on the day of the WPI!!!! Way to go Jamie.

Jamie's presentation on his proposed research topic, Protocells.

Jaime signals that his presentation is up and he is ready for the competition's judges.

Jackie's SODIS presentation at the WPI. Her write up of this research proposal earned her an Honorable Mention in the 2011 Aspire Science Competition (see below).

 In March, Jackie was one of FIVE students nation-wide to receive Honorable Mention in the 2011 Aspire Science Competition. There were also THREE Grand Prize winners in this contest, hence Jackie was one of eight students recognized in this nationwide competition.
