Roslyn High School freshmen swept the New York State awards in the 20th Annual eCYBERMISSION competition sponsored by the U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP).
The eCYBERMISSION competition is open to students in grades six through nine, challenging participants to identify a problem in their community to explore using scientific practices or solve with engineering design. The highest-scoring team per grade level in each region will compete as National Finalists at the National Judging & Educational Event, taking place June 27 – July 1 in Washington, D.C.
The winning teams and their projects are: 1st Place in NYS, Rebecca Fabricant, Ava Ramsey, and Sarah Zwerling for The Effect of Font on the Perception of a Charitable Appeal; 2nd Place in NYS: Esha Chandra, Danielle Chen, and Anika Tolat for How “Physical” is Physical Education?; Honorable Mention in NYS: Ethan Berkowitz, Sophie Glass, and Justin Margulies for Unmasking Masks.
“I’m so proud of our 9th graders,” said Roslyn’s Coordinator of Secondary Research Allyson Weseley. “For most, it’s the first empirical project they’ve ever done, and their performance is a testament to their hard work and diligence all year.”
