Our little team, like many others sprang from very humble beginnings with the team's first competition at the 2015 NY State Regionals. With barely two months to prepare two teams formed in January and got to work right away! Though our medal count was but a handful, the thrill of any victory was enough to get us ready for 2016. And ready we were. The team returned with their "passion for science", taking 2nd Place and earning the coveted letter of invitation to the State competition! And it's been all uphill since then, culminating in a 5th place finish at States in 2018. We plan to go further and greater as the years go on, and we won't stop until we get there. Could we bring a New York City middle school team back to Nationals? Just watch!
