MCC STEP Students win SPIRIT AWARD in 2010 Science Bowl


On February 6th, four members of MCC’s Science & Technology Entry Program (STEP) competed in the STEP Science Bowl at Union College in Schenectady, NY.  This regional event was part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Science Bowl. 

Although the team did not qualify for the finals in the head-to-head jeopardy style competition, they were thrilled to be recognized for their outstanding teamwork and sportsmanship with the tournament’s Spirit Award!

In addition to participating in the Science Bowl, the MCC STEP team toured RPI and Union colleges.  The youth were also treated to hands-on experiences with nanotechnology at the College of Nanoscale Science and Technology. 

Congratulations to the following team members:
Najua Baaith-Mercado (Wilson Commencement - IB, 9th grade)
Julissa Bermudez (Monroe High School, 11th grade)
Duwayne Harding (Wilson Commencement –IB, 9th grade)
Isaiah Wilson (Rochester Charter School for Math and Science, 9th grade)
