Archer Students Smoke Out the Competition for Junior Innovators
Nika H. ’29 and Kate R. ’28 have been named in the Top 300 Junior Innovators in the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for their joint project “Material vs Matter: a study of what materials can best block secondhand smoke inhalation” submitted in the 2023-2024 L.A. County Science and Engineering Fair. They were selected from nearly 2,000 competitors nationwide, all of whom had to place 1st or 2nd at their local science fair to qualify for this national competition. This marks Archer's 4th appearance in the Top 300 since 2017.
