Elmont students showcase projects at science research symopsium

Elmont school district’s science research program recently hosted its annual Science Research Symposium.

Community members, families and members of the administrative team were invited to Gotham Avenue School to view the students’ projects.

Students from all six buildings showcased their research projects during the symposium. They worked on the projects twice a week throughout the school year in preparation for the New York State Science and Engineering Fair’s, also known as NYSSEF, Science Research Competition.

Elmont's science research advisors chaperoned the students on June 3 to Jamaica Avenue School in Plainview as they competed in the Thermo-Fischer Division at the NYSSEF Science Research Competition. Elmont's sixth graders competed against students in grades 6-8 from across Nassau County and were tasked with presenting their research to four different judges.
