Six(6) of our eight grade MCC STEP students who currently attend RACS middle school, participated in the WNY Regional Science Bowl Competition on Saturday, March 2nd, in Buffalo, NY. The students held their own against seasoned competitors and did well in their first Science Bowl Competition. Although they did not come away with the grand prize; they gained a wealth of knowledge, made new friends and enjoyed the wonderful experience. More importantly, the students are desirous to compete again next year.
STEP is funded through a legislative grant by the New York State Education Department and has been at MCC for over 25 years. The mission of STEP is to prepare secondary school students who are historically underrepresented or economically disadvantaged for entry into postsecondary degree programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), health and licensed professions.
