* Congratulations to National STEM Challenge Finalist - Disha Lal (BMS, 7th grade). Disha Lal was declared a finalist in the recently concluded National STEM Challenge. The competition was open to every 6th -12th grader across the country and out of all the entries, only 280 participants made it to being a finalist. From Connecticut, only 7 entries made it and from Bethel only 1. There were multiple themes with Environment, Space, and Technology being few of them. Disha decided to design and build a prototype Mobile App and Smart Donation Cans to make donation operations more seamless, encourage people to donate easily, and thereby reduce food wastage.
