Additionally, for the first time ever, Tesla STEM had a record 8 of the 16 projects (50%) pulled for further judging in consideration for being an ISEF Finalist at WSSEF!! 6th place Archit Patankar, Please congratulate our scholars on a tremendous showing at CSRSEF on Saturday - students raked in 30 awards and even if they did not receive a prize, they put forth a huge amount of time and effort and some also produced award-winning, innovative research, in my opinion. And a special thank you to Meg Stockbridge for helping as a chaperone. Vaishnavi Phadnis ended her term as the Washington State HOSA President with courage and grace. Kieley is active in her school and community. Sophia will have her piece shown in the Capitol Building for one year, along with the winners from across the country. The Aspirations in Computing Educator Award identifies outstanding educators who play a pivotal role in encouraging young women to explore their interest in computing and technology, and recognizes these educators for their efforts to promote gender equity in computing. I am very grateful to Matt Travis, who once again has helped chaperone the trip this year. Team 1 (Saketh Dhulipalla, Rohan Iyer, Evan Kim, Yuchen Li, and Vedantha Venkatapathy) came in 1st place, showing particularly steely nerves in their final matches against Redmond and Interlake. The events are all online, but club leaders are working to create a friendly, supportive culture like those we have seen in the other major teams in Washington (Bothell, Camas, Raisbeck). The team was comprised of. In addition to the team award, Yuchen Li won a medal for answering the 3rd-most toss-up questions. Each group will receive a $100 gift card from Amazon. We are all so very proud of all of our students. Team: Unicorn Ninjas - 2nd Place Best Implementation. I donât know if we will ever be able to replicate this success again.

Introduction to Business: 1st Place - Edward Zhou; Introduction to Business Communication: 6th Place - Osheen Tikku, Introduction to FBLA: 5th Place - Esha Bangur. Comparative Analysis of Total Mercury Concentration in Salmon Species Using Atomic Fluorescence, Olivia Blevins. In the wake of that great disappointment, Yuchen Li, Aayush Sheth and the other organizers decided that in 2020-21, Tesla STEM SciOly would go deeper, by competing in more regional- and national-level events, and broader, by accepting anyone who wanted to join (i.e., this is a “no cut” competitive club) and fielding as many teams as we can at each event. This is Tesla’s first year competing in knowledge bowl and the team in 1st was the overall winner (all divisions) at our regional competition. Of the 9 spots available to our students to go to ISEF, our students at T-STEM secured 1/3 of those!! Current World Problems The writing prompt was a letter to Gov. Front touch control Residual heat indicators Electronic power level display Can be installed with a Neff domino hob Black Glass with Stainless Steel. The top four automatically qualify for the National conference in Baltimore at the end of June. These teams are performing well across all events, with impressive results. Of the 7 available spots for our students to win an all-expense paid trip to ISEF, T-STEM students scored almost half (43%) of those bids. In addition to reinventing the item, teams were to create a video pitch of their new product. Memorial contributions can be made to the William Kimmell VFW Post #9700 in Cheyenne Wells.

Congratulations to every single student who competed and also received ribbons or certificates (totaling 79 scholarships and awards!!!) Please congratulate all students that participated at CSRSEF if you see them in the halls or in your classroom-there are other students who participated and even though they did not receive a prize, they put forth a tremendous amount of time and effort and some also produced award-winning, innovative research in my opinion. If so, do you need some resources? In addition, Sami Badal Khan won an “All-Star” designation by answering the third-most toss-up questions across all of the six preliminary (round-robin) matches. Also thank you to Kate Atvars and Mike Hansen whose help was invaluable. Students overall have been very gracious and understanding about the tele-judging experience and the majority have reported a positive experience.
