By winning second place in the State TEAMS competition last spring, the Newton North HS Science Team earned the right to be one of two teams representing Massachusetts at the national TEAMS competition in Washington, DC at the end of June. At that national event, eight NNHS students at the Grade 9/10 level competed in written, verbal, and problem-solving challenges focused on this year’s theme, Engineering Tomorrow’s Cities. In nationwide ranking, the NNHS team placed 2nd overall, 1st in the written competition, and 3rd in problem-solving. Congratulations to David Reiss-Mello (captain), Derek Baker, Bowen He, Amy Huang, Katherine Gao, Shuming (Andrew) Sun, Nicholas Zhang, and Lucy Zheng!
