A team of students from Edison High School’s Global STEM Challenges Program were named a state winner for the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Competition. The group of five young women (Dakota Bitterman, Victoria Bujoreanu, Cameron Hui, Layla Lahlou, Sophia Wiegold) produced a short video describing their and their peers’ agricultural engineering designs. The student teams were challenged with using what would be considered “waste” in order to create technologies that addressed the concerns of food access or environmental impacts.
