T.C. Williams Science Students Attend Science Symposium at Georgetown University


Eight T.C. Williams High School students attended the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium at Georgetown University last week. During the two-day symposium, students listened to presentations of original science research and toured lab facilities at Georgetown University, the Army Research Lab and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for students to see what scientists really do on a daily basis," says Shawn Lowe, who teaches the Science Research class at T.C. Williams. "I wish I could take more students to this highly selective event."

The participating students included Stephanie Slaven, Eileen Nakahatu, Emily Breeding, Alexandra Lemke, Ann Lawrence, Christopher Gerlach, Zoe Gildersleeve and Connor Quatannens.
