Phoenixville Students Named National Champions For STEM Animation

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Two Phoenixville Middle School students have been named national champions for their STEM animation work at a recent conference.

The animation won first in the National Technology Student Association Conference, which was held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta in late June.

Leah Kerry and Ashley Yang created a beautiful animation called "Illegal Logging" (view below) that demonstrates the social, economic, and ecological impact of the practice.

Four other middle schoolers from Phoenixville also competed in events at the conference.

"We are all so proud of the students who represented Phoenixville with such hard work and success," the district said in a write-up of the event. "What a great accomplishment!"

Congratulations to Leah and Ashley!
