Noches de Ciencia at NBHS!

North Bergen's e-Sport Team Prevails!

Noches De Ciensia On April 6th, Science, STEM and curious students came out to participate in Noches de Ciencia as part of the North Bergen Society for Hispanic Professional Engineering (SHPE). Faculty advisor Mrs. Yaniris Maldonado and Chapter President Ammar Eltigani led a fantastic evening of Science, Engineering, Innovation and FUN. Activities included working on innovating prosthetics with limited supplies, so students have an idea of what it’s like to work in countries without full medical system, presentations by the STEM Academy students from Science Showcase, and experiential learning from representatives from SHPE chapters at Stevens Institute of Technology (our sponsor university) and New Jersey Institute of Technology, where Cruz Donato came as a North Bergen High School alumnus. Everyone had a great time, and we hope for many more SHPE events and participation in the future!
