  • First Place, Engineering (D Fair 9th Grade Division): Jared Gizersky '24,  "Ambuli: An In-Home Robot Caretaker"
All first  place category winners were interviewed by the medals judges to select the top three projects at each level for advancement to the Regeneron Virtual International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held May 9th - 14th 2021.  Riya was named the silver medalist for the 9th grade division, and was invited to participate in ISEF.

Many technical and scientific organizations sponsor special awards for projects at the DVSF as well, and Jared was recognized with a first place certificate from the PA Society of Professional Engineers for a project exhibiting the promise of future engineering excellence.

"These are tremendous accomplishments that they achieved through their independent efforts and hard work," said Dr. Roxanne Spencer, Ranney School Science Department Chair.
