On Tuesday, May 19th, fifty-one students from across Northern Michigan presented research projects at the Fifth Annual Northern Michigan Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Symposium (NMMESS). At NMMESS, students presented projects that answered a scientific, mathematical, or engineering question, or solved a problem. A committee of local secondary educators, college educators, and business/industry professionals reviewed the student projects and presentations.
Micah Appel, a sophomore member of Travers City Area Public Schools’ SCI-MA-TECH program at Traverse City Central High School, earned the High Honors Award and $250 savings bonds for his project titled “Ski Wax and Speed.”
Nine additional students earned Honorable Mention Awards and a $100 savings bond. Students who are members of TCAPS’ SCI-MA-TECH program at Traverse City Central High School and earned Honorable Mention Awards include sophomore Talia Gerstle (“Non-Newtonian Fluids”), sophomore Jessica Krantz (“Pharmaceuticals & Daphnia”), sophomore Allison Powell (“Disinfectant Capability”) and freshman Elizabeth Sigworth (“Sound & Information Retention”). A team of five seniors from TBAISD Career Tech Center’s Manufacturing Technology Academy program earned Honorable Mention Awards for their project titled “FIRST Robotics.” These students are Nate Johnson (Traverse City Central), Scott Simonelli (Traverse City Central), Charlie Spencer (St. Francis), Niko Posavatz (Forest Area), and Ed Rodgers (Traverse City Central).
The Sixth Annual Northern Michigan Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Symposium will be held in the spring of 2010. NMMESS is open to all math and/or science students ranging from upper elementary (grades 4-5), middle school (grades 6-8), and high school (grades 9-12) in the five-county Traverse Bay Region.
This event is sponsored by Traverse City Area Public Schools’ SCI-MA-TECH program, the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District, and Northwestern Michigan College. The savings bonds are funded by a donation from North Bay Energy.
Please call Tom Wessels, TBAISD Math/Science Coordinator at 922-7875 or John Failor, SCI-MA-TECH Director at 933-3554 for more information.
