Holy Trinity’s Ellie Hellman (10th grade) and Emma Menke (9th grade) have recently made their mark in the science community by securing top honors at various prestigious competitions through their hard work, dedication, and passion for science. These remarkable achievements highlight the exceptional talent and commitment of Holy Trinity students, who continue to shine as leaders in the scientific field. Congratulations to all the awardees!
Ellie Hellman will be representing the Iowa Junior Academy of Science next week in Boston, Massachusetts. She was selected last May after a Science Competition at MaryCrest University. During her week in Boston, Ellie will tour labs at Harvard and MIT and present her research in a poster format to the American Association of Academies of Science, where 15,000 to 20,000 scientists from around the world attend the conference.
Emma Menke and Ellie Hellman were recently selected to present their Science Research at the Regional Junior Science and Humanities Symposium on February 24 and 25 at Iowa State University. Out of a pool of the highest-caliber science research students across Iowa, only 18 were selected to present their work. Best of luck to both Ellie and Emma.
