Westchester Science and Engineering Fair
On Saturday, March 17, six science research seniors, two science research juniors and a student who completed research independently competed at the Westchester Science and Engineering Fair.
"The students had a great day presenting their work," said Ann Marie Lipinsky, AP Biology and Science Research mentor at John Jay High School.
The Westchester Science & Engineering Fair (WESEF) encourages students to participate in hands on science by providing a forum for showcasing the outstanding research of high school students in Westchester & Putnam counties of New York State and sponsoring the top students from the fair to advance to the INTEL International Science & Engineering Fair.
All nine John Jay students competing were recognized for their research.
