Congratulations to Hudson Matullo and Brandon Lyons for winning awards at the Jersey City Medical Center/Barnabas Health STEM Showcase! Over 300 students from grades 5-12 competed in the STEM Showcase that began on February 29, 2016. An award ceremony on April 7, 2016 celebrated the winners from around Hudson County.
Hudson Matullo, a 5th grader from Wallace Elementary School, won a Gold Medal and the Merideth Lippman Memorial Award for her "Window Busters" science fair investigation. Hudson researched various types of window protection that would enable glass windows to hold up during superstorms.
Brandon Lyons, a 10th grader from HJSHS, won a bronze medal for his research on the "Effect of Social Interactions on Caloric Intake in Mice." He found that, on average, mice living alone consumed more calories than mice coupled together.
