Ridge High School Juniors Create Coronavirus Website For Students

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Two Ridge High School juniors, Sindhu Nagarakanti and Ishita Goel have used their time off school to help other students keep informed, find activities or offer ways to help out amid the coronavirus outbreak.

"We were very bored the first week of the quarantine so we started a website thinking it would be a good place for people to go to find activities to do when they are stuck inside and quarantined. And then we saw a growing support for the website and decided it was a good place to offer information," said Nagarakanti.

The website was launched a couple of weeks ago and includes activities such as games to play, books to read, science projects to try at home, workouts and more. Along with activities the site also features shout outs to those around the community helping out and also daily updates and news articles.

"We just really want to help out the community and make an impact," Nagarakanti said.
