Yonkers high school students submit STEM projects

  • 2014-12-26
Science is alive and well and living in Yonkers. A group of nearly 30 students from Lincoln High School in Yonkers recently submitted project proposals to the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and Cogito.

Led by Dean Saghafi, a science teacher at the high school, the group of students also enrolled in the Johns Hopkins University Science Research Program.

The participating students, including Lizbeth Goris, Raquelmi Gonzalez, and Deana Moffta, have the opportunity to win up to $600 to purchase the supplies and materials they need to conduct research and complete their projects. The chosen students will also receive mentoring from a member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins.

Saghafi, the students’ teacher, might consider working with Stationery printers to recognize the effort made by the group of students, even if none are chosen for the research award.

The CTY Cogito Research awards were created by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth and Cogito in 2013. The goal of the award is to give talented middle school and high school students the opportunity to perform research in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. Students are evaluated by faculty from Johns Hopkins CTY. The committee will choose up to 10 students to receive the award money.

The Yonkers students can expect to find out whether they or their classmates have been selected sometime in January.
