Congratulations to students from Mr. DeRuosi and Mr. Zushma’s Technology Makerspace Classes and members of the Technology Student Association!  They have been recognized for their hard work this year in several TSA competitive events.  This school year's results are as follows:
 

BioTech (Participants conduct research on a contemporary biotechnology issue of their choosing, document their research, and create a display. The information gathered may be student-performed research or a re-creation or simulation of research performed by the scientific community. If appropriate, a model or prototype depicting some aspect of the issue may be included in the display. Semifinalist teams  are interviewed about their topic.)
