College Club will host Student Scientists
Sanveei Suresh, Madeline Marcovecchio, Sophia Seith and Audrey Ricks, the winning team in NASA’s TechRise Student Challenge, will present their experiment, the current status of their project and what they have learned working with NASA researchers, at a meeting hosted by the Fanwood/Scotch Plains College Club on Feb. 27th.
The team’s vision was to create a futuristic, hydroponic farming technique that could possibly be used to explore food production in a non-gravitational environment and could become a possible food source for astronauts.
NASA’s (National Aeronautic & Space Administration) TechRise Student Challenge invited teams of sixth to twelfth grade students to design, build and launch science and technology experiments on high altitude balloon flights during 2022-2023. The challenge offers hands-on insight into the design and test process used by NASA-supported researches.
The College Club of Fanwood-Scotch Plains holds monthly meetings that include informative and entertaining programs that are free and open to the public. The club also offers its members interest groups, community outreach activities and fundraising projects to generate funds for annual scholarships that are awarded to young women in our community.
