Congratulations to West Hartford student Aaron Shamstein for being among the 32 state merit winners in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge
Aaron just wrapped up his eighth grade year at King Philip Middle School, when he entered the challenge, and will enter Hall High School in the fall.
As the nation’s premier middle school science competition, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge features outstanding innovations from young scientists that demonstrate the power of science to improve the world.
To enter the competition, students in grades 5-8 submit a brief video explaining their original idea to solve an everyday problem using science, which is evaluated for their creativity, scientific knowledge, and communication skills. This year, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge offered students a set of new entry categories, including robotics, home improvement, automotive, safety, AR/VR, and climate technology.
The 32 state merit winners and four honorable mention recipients for this year’s competition were selected based on their passion for science and innovation, and superb communication skills. Each state merit winner receives special recognition on the challenge website, along with a prize pack.
