Mr. Mushiev's middle school science program was filled with much excitement and enthusiasm this past
Wednesday. The students presented some amazing inventions and demonstrated their knowledge in the use of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Among the presentations included a special hat designed for blind people. As they walk towards a wall, the sensors on the hat make a loud noise. This lets them know they are near a wall and that they should proceed with caution. Another presentation was a solar powered jacket that could be used to charge a cell phone. Each of the students demonstrated a wealth of information as they passionately explained their creative projects to their classmates. Our thanks to Mr. Mushiev for his leadership in teaching and inspiring our next generation of future scientists and innovators!

Below are some thoughts from the students.
My project is a cap that has a sensor for blind people, This sensor stops them from bumping into people and/or objects by beeping. Mr. Javitt, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) consultant, showed us how to program. Once we learned how to program, we connected the wires to an ultrasound/ sensor that starts beeping at a certain distance, and gets faster as you get closer to the object. - A.I.
On Wednesday, our middle school presented the Ecybermission and SET3 projects in front of the students. Among these projects included a Solar paneled jacket, a hat to help the blind, two SET3 and ecybermission cars and a solar powered reading lamp. After each presentation, students were allowed to ask the groups questions about their projects. They were recommended to make changes and improvements to their prototypes. Thank you Mr. Mushiev and Mr. Javitt, a STEM consultant, for inspiring and motivating us to design and build our projects. -S.B, A.I.
