Congratulations to 8th grade scientist Carina B for advancing to Top 30 Thermo Fisher JIC!

8th Grader Carina B has advanced to the top 30 in the Thermo Fisher Junior Innovators Challenge!

Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge (Thermo Fisher JIC), is the nation’s premier middle school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) competition. The Thermo Fisher JIC, a program of Society for Science, aims to inspire young scientists, engineers and innovators who will solve the grand challenges of the future.

The 30 finalists were selected by a nationwide panel of scientists, engineers and educators from the Top 300 Junior Innovators announced earlier this month, which also included Hunter’s own Montserrat T-H. The top 30 finalists will participate in Thermo Fisher JIC Finals Week (Oct. 25–30) in Washington, D.C., where a panel of judges will evaluate their scientific research along with their communication, creativity and collaboration skills during team challenges.  Good luck Carina!
