EVERETT — In April, students from Pioneer Charter School of Science (PCSS) participated in the Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair (MSEF) High School State Fair at Gillette Stadium.
At the event, over 300 student researchers showcased months of research, problem-solving, and innovation. Three students proudly represented PCSS — Mokkshita Arun of Melrose, Wilfredo Villanueva of Revere and Mannat Markan of Everett.
The students’ outstanding projects included Mokkshita’s “Improving Hearing Loss Using Tactile Sound,” Wilfredo’s “Classification and Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori Infections in Histopathological Images Using a Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Network: Phase One,” and Mannat’s “Reading Emotions Using Arduino and Brainwaves.”
Wilfredo took home three awards for his impressive research, including Honorable Mention, the Massachusetts Life Science Center Trailblazer Award, and a Summer Program Scholarship valued at $3,900 to attend the Wentworth Impact Lab at Wentworth Institute of Technology.
As a school with a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), PCSS could not be prouder of Mokkshita, Wilfredo and Mannat for representing our school so positively.
Congrats to all on their amazing work!
