Congratulations to six Middle and Upper School students who took top awards at the state level Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) Competition at Penn State University, May 14–16, 2017. PJAS is a statewide organization designed to stimulate and promote interest in science and mathematics among junior and senior high school students through the development of research projects and investigations.
At the final competition, students participated within different scientific categories of research (such as Computer Science, Engineering, Biochemistry, Biology, Mathematics, etc.) and presented their hypotheses and findings to a panel of judges. Students in grades 7 to 12 have worked tirelessly on their PJAS presentations since the fall, spending time outside of the classroom to develop, research, and analyze their original ideas.
The Ellis School is incredibly proud of the hard work, preparation, and effort that went into each and every performance at the state competition!
If you're interested in exploring Ellis for your daughter, let's connect! Request information about enrollment, attend one of our upcoming events, or hear about Ellis from those who know it best: our students.
