Junior Andrew Musielak presented his project in the Physics category and received the overall graduate student award. A group of ISU science graduate students served as judges and selected his project as the best across all categories.
“We look forward to our students participating in the ISU Research Symposium each year,” South High Science teacher Michelle Sachtleben said. “Rainu, Matthew, and Andrew have worked incredibly hard on their projects and they should be proud of their accomplishments.”
Illinois State University (ISU) invites Illinois high school students to showcase their research projects in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) at the annual research symposium. Students have the opportunity to share their research and presentations with an audience of ISU professors, ISU students, and other Illinois high school students.
