(Bedminster, NJ―June 7,
2017) At the AT&T Global Network Operations Center, High Tech science
majors presented their research for the Young Science Achievers Program (YSAP)
symposium, announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech.
Earlier this year, students
submitted proposals to the YSAP Foundation for a chance to receive grants to
conduct their research projects, and all the High Tech students who attended
the event received grants. Students’ poster boards piqued interest and allowed students
to practice their communications and presentation skills. Also, guests had an opportunity to tour the center,
where a docent described the day-to-day activities at the AT&T
Global Network Operations Center.
The YSAP symposium culminated with
its award ceremony. Judges presented medals
for projects in biology, chemistry, engineering, inventions, physics, and
mathematics, and the president of the YSAP board also bestowed Presidential Awards
to students with promising projects.
Smriti Sukesh Kumar and
Mahek Virani of Secaucus received Presidential Awards for their project “Road Rage Reduction.” Kumar and
Virani’s project concerned programming an LED matrix board as a prototype in a
real-world setting.
