5th year student, Maura Moore-McCune representing The King's Hospital School, Palmerstown in Co. Dublin has won the title of SciFest STEM Champion 2024 with her project 'VIPMOD: Vision Impaired Person's Moving Object Detector'. Maura Moore-McCune will represent Ireland at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. Now in its 19th year, SciFest is Ireland's largest, most-inclusive all-island STEM fair programme for second-level students. The National Final, held in Marino Conference Centre in Dublin today, was attended by students from every corner of the island, with 62 students qualifying to participate this year. Since 2006, the programme has continued to evolve and expand, reporting an average increase of over 20% year on year. This has been helped by the tremendous support offered by Intel Ireland, Boston Scientific, EirGrid and Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. Maura Moore-McCune, who is vision impaired, developed an app to detect fast moving objects, so that vision impaired people can live safer and more independent lives. This project evolved through six prototypes. The first three prototypes used Micro:bits. Prototype 4 uses GPS technology. Prototype 5 is an app which uses TensorFlow.js Image Classification model to detect oncoming vehicles and other objects. The app displays the object's name, vibrates and issues a text-to-speech warning. Finally, Prototype 6 is an application that estimates the speed of oncoming objects. It uses a YOLOv8 model to analyse input footage. Prototype 5 was tested in a controlled setting, with 95% accuracy (316 trials). Vision Ireland will be testing VIPMOD in the WayFinding Centre - an indoor environment replicating the real-world experience of using public transport for vision impaired people. Maura was presented with the SciFest STEM Champion 2024 Award by Sheila Porter, SciFest Founder and CEO. Maura rose to win the top prize, following her success at the regional final in SciFest@TU Dublin Tallaght. Founded in 2006, the programme's primary aim is to encourage students' participation in STEM in an enjoyable and interactive way. SciFest is free to enter and open to everyone across the island of Ireland, no matter their background or circumstance. Speaking at this year's National Final, CEO and Founder of SciFest, Sheila Porter commented: "On behalf of everyone here at SciFest, I would like to extend a warm congratulations to all the winners, particularly to Maura for winning the title of SciFest STEM Champion 2024. SciFest has been providing opportunities in STEM for students for nearly two decades, and I am proud to have watched it evolve during that time. And while every year, we continue to grow, our core mission remains the same: to inspire and empower the next generation to engage with and explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This year saw a big uptake in projects focusing on the environment and sustainability - critical areas for shaping a better future. I want to sincerely thank everybody who has been involved - from our students, teachers, and parents to our wonderful sponsors - all of whom have contributed to this extraordinary event. Together, we continue to drive progress and spark the creativity that will lead us into the future." Other award winners at the SciFest 2024 National Final were: Lily Cahill who won the SciFest STEM Champion 2024 Runner-up Award for her project on 'Investigating Whether Childhood Imaginary Companions Impact Social Competence and Coping Skills in Teenage Years' Fionn Campbell who won the Berlin Long Night of Science Award for his project on 'A Crystal-Clear Way to Slow Down Ireland's Energy Crisis' Maura Moore-McCune who won the Boston Scientific Medical Devices Grand Award for her project on 'VIPMOD:Vision Impaired Person's Moving Object Detector' Gráinne Ní Chrónín who won the Boston Scientific Medical Devices Grand Award Runner Up for her project on 'No More Ice, Ice Baby!' ...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, dedicated to prioritizing and promoting open conversations about our social and emotional wellbeing. Mental health encompasses how we manage stress, connect with others, and make healthy choices. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health. We can support our mental health by focusing on self-care, establishing a routine, maintaining healthy social connections, developing positive coping strategies, and having open conversations about mental health needs. In HSD, we encourage students, staff, and families to: Learn more about mental health and protective factors, Speak respectfully and inclusively about mental health, Seek help if they are struggling with their mental health and encourage others to do the same, and Create safe and supportive environments for open conversations about mental health. If you need help connecting to resources in our community, you can talk with a school counselor or explore the resources on our website. Together, let's prioritize mental health awareness and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to prioritize their wellbeing. Our featured student is Liberty High School senior Jared Lim. Jared represented HSD and Team Oregon at the International Science and Engineering Fair - or ISEF - in Los Angeles the week of May 12th through 17th. His project, Connexelerator, took first place in the Computer Science and Robotics category at Intel's Beaverton-Hillsboro Science Expo in March, which both qualified him for the Northwest Science Expo on April 5th, and earned him a trip to ISEF. Connexelerator is an Artificial Intelligence-powered language learning application that Jared felt compelled to develop after his own experiences with learning multiple languages, including Malay, English, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese. It made its debut during the 2023 Congressional App Challenge; and while it didn't win, it allowed Jared to meet Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, spurred him to make improvements to his user interface, and has led him to his recent science fair successes. It also gained him a referral to another international program, “RISE for the World,” where he will compete among 500 finalists at this year's event in June. Learn more about Jared and his Connexelerator app on our website. There will be no school for all students on Monday, May 27th, in observance of Memorial Day. School resumes for all students on Tuesday, May 28th. Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment from the White House podium Tuesday about Special Counsel John Durham's report on the investigation into Trump-Russia collusion. Durham's 300-page report found that the FBI and Department of Justice "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" regarding its investigation into possible Russia collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. California's financial system, which is propped up by Democrats as the model the rest of the country should be following, is completely unsustainable. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now acknowledging that fact. Ava Cotroneo, 16, from Maryland, is a finalist in The 2023 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. She has an interest in engineering, and while she could have built a castle out of sugar cubes, like this reporter once did, she chose instead a project she hopes can bring about positive change in her community. She invented a Bullet Proof Backpack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Morning Headlines For February 24th, 2023 covers a classic showing of Phantom of The Opera in Rexburg, a new school board member in School District 91, and the annual Eastern Idaho Science and Engineering Fair.
Jessica Escobar is a longtime violinist with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and other ensembles all around Nevada and beyond. By day, she works across the street from the Pioneer concert hall as a full-time certified court interpreter for the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada. In her job as interpreter, she helps people oflimited English proficiency gain access to justice by bridging the language gap in court proceedings. In addition to her current career as an interpreter, Jessica used her double major in French and Anthropology to teach English and French classes first in France for two years, then here in Reno at the University of Nevada and Truckee Meadows Community College. She has translated and interpreted for regional police departments, hospitals, mental health facilities, courts, and even the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair as a freelancer for ten years before obtaining her current position. After learning more about the role of interpreters, its easy to see why a 2001 study placed interpreters in thecategory of "high-stress professions," which included first responders, military personnel, neurosurgeons, and air traffic controllers. So in July 2017, Jessica decided to take up Transcendental Meditation, or TM for short, in hopes of improving her quality of life and preventing future health problems caused by stress and anxiety. In our conversation we talk about how Jessica first was introduced to Transcendental Meditation and what drew her to that practice specifically, how she views her musical life and meditation, and some recommendations for how to get started if you are interested in TM. Jessica has seemingly boundless energy and kindness and brings such a wonderful presence with here to every situation. It was a pleasure to talk with her and I am sure you will all get a lot out of this conversation.

Today, it is my pleasure to interview one of my most influential teachers--my 8th grade science teacher Jeff Johnson. Jeff grew up at the start of the space age and was heavily influenced by Sputnik 1, John Glenn and the vast media onslaught of TV and media that emerged shortly thereafter. .In his early year's Jeff created space scrapbooks with articles he found and his love was fueled even further by watching the Apollo 11 landing with his family. Although Jeff's interest in science was nurtured in high school, it was a serendipitous meeting at a softball game with an educator that led him to teaching and he soon began an internship in Columbia Missouri before moving to Florida. It was in Florida where Jeff recalls his first in person space shuttle launch with non other than Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, on board. Johnson went on to apply and be accepted as the first NEWMAST (NASA Educational Workshop for Math and Science Teachers) cohort - at the Kennedy Space Center where, for two full weeks, he got to see many behind-the-scenes aspects of the space program, including meeting an astronaut and seeing space shuttle Challenger up close as it was being prepped for a mission. He also began implementing the science fair both at his school and at Florida State Science and Engineering Fair. After a move to Wisconsin, Jeff became a high school chemistry teacher and attended highly-regarded National Science Foundation Workshop for High School Chemistry Teachers but noted the increasing demand for internet connection and computers in the classroom. He shifted his professional focus to supporting technology as a teaching tool which ultimately led to working for a software company helping schools transition to the technology demands. These days, Mr. Johnson recently relocated to New Mexico where he enjoys bird watching and photography. He looks forward to getting a telescope to take advantage of the darks skies in his new home, and to reconnect with his love of space.

Today we meet with Jennifer Davis, the director for the Palm Beach Regional Science and Engineering Fair. Ms. Davis was born into a science loving family in Dublin, Ireland, where her father was one of only four people to hold a PhD in organic chemistry. From a very early age, her father helped her to value education and hard work. This inspiration for science was reinforced when she moved to the US in 1981, and met her high school freshman biology teacher with whom she took every science class she could. Ms. Davis eventually obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biology although she spent the first part of her career training and breeding horses for Olympic equestrian teams. She began tutoring some of the those students in math and science, which changed the trajectory of her career. Building upon her strong work ethic, a passion for organization and planning, and a deep love for all things science, Ms. Davis transitioned to teaching in 2003, and spent 9 years in both middle and high school science classrooms before joining the secondary science curriculum team in 2012. With her colleagues, Ms. Davis supports 35 middle schools and 27 high schools in delivering highly engaging and effective science instruction, including participation in the Science Fair. Ms. Davis loves the fair because of the creativity, ingenuity, and perseverance of every student who completes a project, and, in fact, Kevin credits her for a lot of his own student success with the fair. As always, stay tuned for our takeaways after the show, and if you have a student who is interested in the fair but needs some assistance, reach out to us at our email: schristenson@aerospace-policy.org For more information on FALL courses and clubs with AIA: Go2Space on FB --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shawna-christenson2/support

Blue Dot revisits with Lee Vining High School junior Ellery McQuilkin and chats about a very real science project that has earned her spots in the California State Science and Engineering Fair as well as the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair as a finalist.
For episode 48 of 17 Minutes of Science we talked with Neha Gupta about her science research in addition to how she is lifting and inspiring other girls to pursue STEM. Since she was 12 years old, Neha Gupta has been competing in science fairs and exploring STEM topics related to biology and health sciences. Since 2017, her participation in the Bay Area Science and Engineering Fair has led her to compete in national (Canada-Wide Science Fair) and international level fairs (International Science and Engineering Fair). Her current research uses C. elegans to test for toxicity, and required her to develop a method of quantitatively modeling C. elegans behavior - something that had never been done before. While participating in these science fairs is fun and inspiring, Neha noticed a theme among her fellow female science fair participants - there were not enough of them, and they all had stories about how if it had been just a bit different, they probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to pursue STEM. Because of these conversations, Neha actively seeks to encourage young girls to participate in science fairs and STEM fields, as science is not a subject restricted to one population of people. This has inspired her to found STEMpowerment, a nonprofit run through Twitter aimed at creating more visibility around women and girls in STEM to empower youth to make strides in scientific fields and Dimensions Magazine, a science-based student-run magazine aimed to engage high school and undergrad students in science by publishing student-written articles. Neha also runs a blog where you can check out her most recent updates. Tune in to learn more about Neha's research and her drive to make STEM more accessible.
Clovis North High School sophomore John Estrada has qualified for the state science fair four times since middle school. But his project this year, a drought-detecting robot, earned the 16-year-old top honors at the world’s largest science competition, the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair . One of more than 1,800 competitors from 64 countries, Estrada walked away from this year’s virtual fair with a grand prize: The Gordon E. Moore Award for Positive Outcomes for Future Generations, a title that comes with a $50,000 college scholarship and is awarded to only one student each year. “It’s kind of like living in a dream almost,” says Estrada, who says he had always hoped to qualify for the international competition. “It’s kind of like validation…it shows promise for where I can bring this in the future.” Estrada built a robotic arm that can detect drought stress in crops using only images of their leaves. Having outfitted the arm with cameras that capture images of

Mother Daughter Earth: an Environmental Sustainability Podcast
Shreya Ramachandran is a high school senior and global leader in water conservation. We talk about her passion for water conservation and grey water reuse and what an integral piece of the larger environmental conservation puzzle it is. She touches on how many aspects of sustainability flow back into the need to conserve and protect our water resources. She shares how personally experiencing a terrible drought in California five years ago sparked her interest in water conservation and after a trip to India she realized what a global issue water scarcity is and how similarly it affects people around the world. She created her non-profit, The Grey Water Project, in 2016 because she wanted to do her part in promoting the safe reuse of grey water and water conservation through outreach, advocacy, policy changes and grey water curricula. Her curricula is available for free and so far has impacted more than 50,000 people in 90+ schools across four countries. Shreya has some many amazing accomplishments, but here are a few highlights: in 2017, she was awarded the President's Environmental Youth Award and invited to become a member of the United Nation's Global Waste Water Initiative, her research received a grand award at the 2019 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, she was named a Top 20 Global Finalist in the 2019 Google Science Fair, and she also received the 2019 Children's Climate Prize, an international award given to one environmentalist each year.

Shreya Ramachandran is the founder of the nonprofit organization The Grey Water Project which promotes the safe reuse of grey water and water conservation as a way to battle droughts and climate change. (Grey water is lightly used water that makes up 60% of the used water in our homes). She was moved to action five years ago after witnessing the devastating effects of droughts firsthand in both California and India. She started out by doing research to see if grey water could be reused for irrigation. After winning state, national and international awards for her patent-pending research, she started her nonprofit to advocate her cause. Currently, she does workshops and presentations at schools, libraries, community and corporate events to teach people how to use grey water in their homes and how to install a laundry to lawn system. She also runs water conservation challenges and has a grey water curriculum implemented aimed at school students to teach greywater recycling. “My goal is to have grey water reuse become like paper and plastic recycling - something everyone does,” Shreya says. She is launching a Climate Ambassadors Program for students to learn about climate change, implement a change project and receive recognition. Shreya has won numerous awards including being a Top 20 Global Finalist at the Google Science Fair and 3rd place at the International Science and Engineering Fair. She is a National Geographic Young Explorer, Global Teen Leader, a recipient of the President's Environmental Youth Award, the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and the winner of the Children's Climate Prize 2019.

Atari at the Science Fair: Scott Ryder: Atari-Controlled Robot Here's an article from The Fresno Bee (Fresno, California) dated April 15, 1982: "Science proves Fair game to young minds". "Joseph Paul Ogas, 17, has designed a cheaper way to manipulate material beneath a microscope. Garey Nishimura, 13, has evaluated the relative flammability of several household fabrics. Theirs were the big winners among the 693 projects that filled the Fresno Convention Center Exhibit Hall for this year’s California Central Valley Science and Engineering Fair. "There were other interesting projects that didn’t win big [such as] 'The Effects of Birth Control Pills on Plants,' and 'Determining the Correlation Between Canine Howling, Cockroach Activity and Earthquake Prediction'." And later -- in the article's final paragraph, the reason for this interview: "Runners up [included] Scott Ryder, a sixth-grader at Ayer Elementary School: "Can an Atari 800 Control a Robot With Software?" Can an Atari 800 control a robot with software? And if so, why did an awesome Atari-controlled robot only earn a runner-up award at the Science and Engineering Fair? I talked with Scott to find out. This interview took place on February 21, 2021.

Why do teenagers sometimes make outrageous, risky choices? Do they suddenly become reckless, or are they just going through a natural phase? To find out, Kashfia Rahman -- winner of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (and a Harvard freshman) -- designed and conducted an experiment to test how high school students respond to and get used to risk, and how it changes their still-developing brains. What she discovered about risk and decision-making could change how we think about why teens do what they do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Pourquoi les adolescents font-ils des choix risqués et insensés ? Deviennent-ils tout à coup imprudents ou traversent-ils juste une phase normale ? Pour répondre à cette question, Kashfia Rahman, vainqueure de l'Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (et étudiante en première année à Harvard), a conçu et conduit une expérience pour tester comment les lycéens répondent et s'habituent au risque, et comment cela affecte leur cerveau en développement. Ce qu'elle a découvert à propos du risque et de la prise de décision pourrait changer notre façon de voir les adolescents et leurs comportements.

Por que os adolescentes, às vezes, fazem escolhas ultrajantes e arriscadas? De repente, eles se tornam imprudentes, ou estão apenas passando por uma fase natural? Para descobrir, Kashfia Rahman, vencedora da Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (e caloura de Harvard), projetou e conduziu um experimento para testar como alunos do ensino médio reagem e se acostumam a se arriscar, e como isso muda o cérebro deles ainda em desenvolvimento. O que ela descobriu sobre risco e tomada de decisões pode mudar nossa forma de pensar por que os adolescentes fazem o que fazem.
It’s the most critical day of this grueling international competition -- 1700 brilliant young minds are gathered to claim the top prize -- but they have just a few minutes to sell their idea to judges. Barred from the room during the highly charged pitch sessions, Dr. Serena McCalla is here to represent one of best teams in the world. In this ultra-competitive scene having one or two students competing is unbelievable. This famous science teacher has a staggering nine. The stakes are high this year at the Science Fair. The Sundance award winning film, SCIENCE FAIR, has been described by critics as “the funniest movie of the year and a shout out to teenage science geeks on whom our future depends”. The International Science and Engineering Fair is affectionately known as the Olympics of Science Fairs and it plays out like a teen drama starring the smartest kids on the planet. This science fair is the world’s largest international high school science competition and last year 1,700 of the brightest scientific teenage minds, from 78 different countries faced off in a fierce competition for an average of $4 million in prizes! And of course no high school, high stakes, drama is complete without the inspirational superhero at the center of it all! I was lucky enough to sit down with the no nonsense power house Dr. Serena McCalla from Jericho High School in New York who has dedicated her life, working insanely long hours, to make sure her students qualify for the most prestigious high school competition in the world.

Colorado's Science Fair Stars (starts at 3:18) As the end of the school year approaches for high school students, it’s a good time to celebrate the achievements and passion of students in Colorado who have excelled in science, technology, math and engineering (STEM). Two of them -- Hope Weinstein, a senior at Fairview High in Boulder, and Michael Brady, a senior at Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village -- were finalists at a renowned global competition last week. It’s the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which is a program of Society for Science & the Public. Hope and Michael talk with co-host Susan Moran about their research and their message to other students. Rosetta Comet Mission (starts at 15:16) When he's not busy volunteering with How On Earth, Joel Parker is an astronomer with the Southwest Research Institute -- and that's the hat he has on today as our in-studio guest. He joins us to talk about the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, which will tag along with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as it swings nearer to the sun later this summer. Joel is the Deputy Lead Investigator for ALICE, the ultraviolet spectrometer aboard the spacecraft. He’s also the featured presenter at Cafe Scientifique tomorrow night. So think of this conversation as a preview of what you might hear if you join him tomorrow at Brooklyn’s down in Denver. Joel will give a very informal talk starting at 6:30 pm, and will try to answer all your tough questions about comets, Rosetta, or anything else. CafeSci is free and open to the public.
