A local student traveled to New Hampshire to present research.
Editor's Note: The following information was provided by the Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School.
On March 21st, Ayush Kumar, a Worcester resident and sophomore at the
Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School, traveled to the University of New Hampshire to present his biology research at the Regional Junior Science & Humanities Symposium.
The JSHS challenges and engages high school students in STEM-related fields: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students are invited to JSHS events to present their research and schoolwork before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers. Additionally, they can participate in hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and lab visits. The JSHS also awards a variety of scholarships and other recognitions to outstanding students.
Ayush wrote a research paper for his biology class, and submitted it to the JSHS in January for consideration. After evaluating Ayush’s work, the JSHS invited him to present his findings during a poster session at the New England regional symposium. Christina Jagielski, his biology teacher, is very proud of his achievement.
