36th Annual Science Fair
John Jay Middle School's 36th Annual Science Fair was organized by science teachers Zach Miller and Christine Watroba. The students took it from there.
Science Fair 2019
Jake loves to throw tomahawks with his dad. Why do some stick in their target while others fell out? A relative of Maddy's has Alzheimer's. What caused the disease and was there anything that could be done to help her? Ara received an Arduino starter kit from his dad, which included several sensors. Could he make them more complex by adding a few extra pieces and some code? Jake grew up talking about blood with his grandfather, a senior hematologist at Sloan Kettering. Could enzymes make universal donor blood?
"These projects are all self-driven," said Mr. Miller at the awards presentation. "This independent work is driven by a love of science."
