Sean Meisch and Matthew Garber, both senior students at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, were selected as Delegates to the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders in Lowell, MA from June 28th to June 30th, 2015.
The Congress is an honors only program for high school students who are passionate about science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be scientists and technologists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.
American hero and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Science Director of the National Academy of Future Scientists, nominated both Sean Meisch and Matthew Garber to represent Scotch Plains- Fanwood High school based on their academic achievement, leadership potential and passion for science and technology.
During the three-day congress, Sean and Matthew joined students from across the country and heard Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading scientific research. They were given advice from deans of the world’s top tech universities and they were inspired by fellow teen science prodigies. They also learned about cutting-edge advances and the future of science and technology.
Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists said, “Focused, bright and determined students like Sean Meisch and Matthew Garber, are our future and they deserve all the mentoring and guidance we can give them.
Sam Meisch and Matthew Garber.
