Jenna Matarazzo and Corina Henke, 1st place winners at Chemagination, and their mentor, Dr. Gordon. The third member of the winning team, Paige Matarazzo, is not in the picture – she was representing GCHS at another competition, Medical Marvels, which took place on the same day. On Friday, March 8, 29 Garden City High School science students, representing 11 teams, competed in the American Chemistry Society’s Chemagination Competition at St. John’s University. After multiple rounds of judging, and great anticipation, five Garden City
teams received medals and trophies. Congratulations to sophomores Corina Henke, Paige Matarazzo and Jenna Matarazzo, who won first place for their project to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by floating biodegradable spheres containing photosynthetic organisms in the atmosphere. They will move on to present their research at the regional and national level at UMBC in Baltimore, MD where they will compete with other first place winners from NY, NJ and PA to receive additional prizes. Sophomores Kathleen Adams, Kareena Katriyar and Kendall Bahlke won second place in Environmental Science for their project Pollution Free Elimination of “Plastic Islands.” Freshmen Niall Cowie, Jeremy Gheevergese and Omar Chohan won second place in Biomedical Science for a biosensor to detect and treat rheumatic fever. Sophomores Daniel HernandezArroyo, Matthew Hughes and Stavros Cherpelis won third place in Alternative Energy for their wireless charging pacemaker project. And, freshmen Avery Hearon, Maya Batra and Kai Hosein won third place in New Materials for their project on hydrogel-based prosthetics.
