PJAS Regional Science Fair Student Achievements
Seven students represented Freedom at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) regional science fair, held at Northampton Community College. Students designed and conducted their own science experiments over the last few months, and yesterday, they presented their results as an oral presentation to a panel of judges, who scored them on a rubric. Below are the results:
- Freshman Max Denofa received a 1st award for his microbiology project
- Sophomore Navya Abraham received a 1st award for her microbiology project
- Sophomore Srisha Banerjee received a 1st award for her microbiology project
- Sophomore Manideep Muvvala received a 1st award for his human behavior project
- Junior Xin Liu received a 2nd award for her zoology project
- Junior Taylor Roberts received a 1st award for her biochemistry project
- Senior Mia Napolitano received a 1st award (and a perfect score!) for her zoology project
For their first awards, Max, Navya, Srisha, Manideep, Taylor, and Mia will advance to the state-level competition held at Penn State University in May.
