MNHS Freshmen Named State Winners in 13th Annual eCYBERMISSION Competition
Three students at Manalapan High School won second place in the ninth grade category for New Jersey in the 13th Annual eCYBERMISSION competition.
According to its website, eCYBERMISSION is one of several science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) initiatives offered by the Army Educational Outreach Program. The U.S. Army is committed to answering the nation's need for increased national STEM literacy and expanding STEM education opportunities across the country to open doors to new career paths for America’s students that lead to a brighter tomorrow.
Freshmen Max Shustef, Aheli Chatterjee and Evan Battaglia worked on a project to find a solution which would allow patients in critical condition and in need of controlled substances to receive those medications before reaching the hospital. The problem is important to the community because thousands of patients will receive immediate medical treatment prior to arrival at the hospital and their admission process will be expedited allowing a faster rate of treatment and care, according to the team’s proposal.
Math teacher Stephanie Pepper acted as the team’s advisor.
The students submitted an official write up of their project and worked through all the steps of the engineering design process. Their project was then evaluated and scored by virtual judges.
After being named one of the state’s winner, the team will now move on to compete in the regional round.
