Congratulations to 10th grade Science Research student Andrew Chen on having his research proposal accepted to the “Growing Beyond Earth (GBE) Project”, a classroom-based citizen science project, led by NASA, designed to advance research on growing plants in space.

Andrew’s research project is focused on how CO2 levels effect a specific part of plant development.

Our students first worked collectively to gather data on a team project and had an opportunity to submit individual proposals for new ideas. This is East Rockaway's first year in the program.

Andrew will be working to complete this project over the next months to present in competition and to the GBE collective.
