Hendrick Hudson High School students Jordan Hudock and Jazz Munitz competed as speakers on February 7th at the Westchester Rockland Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (WR-JSHS), held at John Jay High School in Cross River, N.Y.
Munitz placed third in the Biology 1 and Biochemistry category, qualifying him to go the state finals at Albany on March 11th and 12th. In Albany he will be presenting a poster describing his research. (First and Second Place winners continue as speakers; Third and Fourth Place continue as posters).
JSHS is designed to challenge and engage students (Grades 9-12) in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). Individual students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting the results of their original research efforts before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers. Opportunities for hands-on workshops, panel discussions, career exploration, research lab visits and networking are offered.
