A clean SWEEP in Lynbrook
Students qualify to compete at International science competition
Lynbrook High School students Matt Gus and Mikayel Ayvazyan qualified to compete at the International Sustainable World (Engineering, Energy & Environment) Project Olympiad (I-SWEEEP) in Houston on from May 5 to 9.
Matt worked at Farmingdale State University on a project to test the energy density of ultracapacitors with carbon nanotubes. Mikayel constructed a special antenna to obtain weather energy results. Their projects will be judged along with 450 top projects from 70 countries and 43 U.S. states.
Organized by the Cosmos Foundation, I-SWEEEP is the largest science fair event of its kind in the world. The objective of the competition is to spark interest and awareness in our planet’s sustainability challenges, and to accelerate the progress toward a sustainable world by engaging young minds at an early age to develop an environmentally conscious global community and inspire personal responsibility in caring for the planet and those who share it.
