Sophomores Shine at Somers Science Fair

Not only did 11 John Jay sophomores present their work in poster format at the Somers Science Fair on June 3, seven were recognized for their proposed research. “It was a great day for our students,” said Ann Marie Lipinsky, Science Research teacher.

The Somers Science Fair is a sophomore-only event that provides first-year Science Research students the opportunity to present their intended research design in a formal setting. The projects are judged in large part by seniors who have successfully completed 3 years of Science Research.
