TSA Results 2021-2022

Atilla Bodur came in 4th place for the "CAD Engineering Design" competition where he had to design a 1 wheeled skateboard.  He custom designed and drew every component including the bearings and battery compartment. 
We also placed 4th in the Biotech challenge (Albert Caesar, Jaiman Munshi, Nancy Puthenpurayil, Alex Zhang). They did outstanding research in developing a robot that controls algae!!  In addition, they submitted the project to the NJWEA (NJ Water Environment Asso.), where they came in 3rd
To see their robot... Website display: https://nancyputhenpurayil.wixsite.com/r4cw Video Presentation:  https://youtu.be/1c6kXfvIR7EPortfolio Finally, we placed 6th in video game design (Matthew Leopold, Arden Pentlicki, Cy Westbrook).
