Jacob Concolino participated as a poster judge at the Terra Western New York STEM Fair (TWNY-STEM Fair) with hopes of inspiring the scientists and engineers of tomorrow hosted by SUNY Buffalo State.  Terra Science and Education aims to allow middle and high school students to conduct authentic scientific research as well as engineering practice, presenting their work and results with judges.  Students are also allowed to present posters on scientific topics and judges evaluate their work and award them accordingly.  Many of these students are awarded with invitations to present their work at the NY Science Congress, Genius Olympiad, and the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).  The two highest-scoring students from the Terra Fair are awarded with invitations to compete at ISEF in Dallas, Texas, sponsored by Terra.  The Western New York Fair serves Buffalo, NY and five surrounding counties: Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tala Mon<\/u><\/a>, Ruth Bello<\/u><\/a>, and Dr. Kyriakidou<\/u><\/a><\/u> participated in the Terra Rochester Finger Lakes Science and Engineering Fair (TRFSEF)<\/a><\/u><\/span> as judges for a 2nd<\/sup> year!  The Rochester Finger Lakes Fair is sponsored by Terra Science and Education which seeks to provide middle school and high school students with the opportunity to engage in authentic scientific research.  The Terra fair also helps students from underrepresented communities to engage in STEM and encourage them to consider technical careers.  Students with winning projects also get the opportunity to present their work and findings in subsequent competitions such as the Science Teachers Association of New York State (STANYS) NY Science Congress<\/a><\/u> and the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)<\/a><\/u>.  Moreover, students from the Terra Fair can also be awarded with promotion to competition at the Genius Olympiad<\/a><\/u> International, which is another international competition, sponsored by Terra.<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Kyriakidou group volunteered with Science is Elementary<\/u><\/a>, a UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences program to bring scientists and engineers to classrooms in Buffalo to do structured, hands-on science experiments. The group visited first-grade classrooms at Highgate Heights Elementary<\/u><\/a> as well as a third-grade classroom at Westminster Charter School<\/a>, helping to share the fun of science, math, and engineering with the children.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Studies have shown that the United States lags behind other countries in STEM education, specifically in underprivileged neighborhoods.  The Kyriakidou group volunteered with Science is Elementary<\/u><\/a>, a UB School of Engineering program designed to help share the fun of science, math, and engineering with the children of our community at Westminster Charter School<\/a> in Buffalo.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
