The Florida-Georgia Lewis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP) in Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) recently held their annual expo at Florida State College at Jacksonville-Kent Campus.
As part of the Early College High School program at
Lee High, student Chelsea Partridge entered the engineering oral papers competition and won first place. The way this competition is run is similar to professional meetings, and each student makes his/her presentation and then the judges determine which presentation was the best. Chelsea’s oral paper was on the design of a component for a fix on the space shuttle; her work will fly later this month aboard space shuttle Discovery.
The competition at the expo is very tough as students come from both community colleges and universities in Florida and Georgia. There were more than 300 students and faculty in attendance, including graduate schools and the Department of Energy Labs.
Congratulations to Chelsea Partridge for this outstanding achievement!
