Briarcliff MS Students Share Passion for STEM

From Briarcliff Manor Union Free School District: Small groups of Briarcliff Middle School students shared their enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the Lower Hudson Valley’s first regional STEM Festival for middle schoolers at Blind Brook Middle/High School.

The STEMfest was a noncompetitive gathering of students who are passionate about STEM that challenged them to build, invent, research or code and present their work in a supportive environment.

Sixth-graders Kabir Gowda, Neel Menon and Ben Young worked on creating a hologram using three-dimensional objects for STEMfest.

“It looks really cool and the science behind it is interesting,” Menon said.

Other students who participated in the event included Annika Bruinings, Theo Racz, Coby Rinke, Kornel Smith and Daniel Sugrue.

“STEMfest was great,” said science teacher Jodi Shearer. “The kids all had wonderful experiences.”
