NHS Students Enter Regional Science Research Competition

Three Neshaminy High School students entered the regional science research competition at Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks April 3.

According to the district website, the students' participation in this regional fair was based upon placement from the science research competition at Delaware Valley College. Jasmin Tharakan won 2^nd place in the Behavioral and Social Sciences division based upon her experiment on Age and Memory; James Tuttle won an Honorable Mention award in the same division for feeding patterns of fish. Students were again interviewed at the competition to ascertain their knowledge and level of competency of their experiments.

The fairs were designed to stimulate interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

"The mission of the fair is to bring parents, teaches, and industry together to stimulate and nurture young people so that they will grow and develop into contributing members of the community," as stated on the district website.
