Yesterday the 25th New Jersey Chemistry Olympics was held at NJIT with 16 high schools participating. Most of the schools were represented by 2 teams.
I have run the Information Search at least since the late 1990s. (I really should remember the exact year). Students in this event were required to bring a model of a molecule of a antiviral drug to be evaluated for accuracy and aesthetics of the model. Students were given a set of questions about antivirals where they had to find the answers from the Internet. They could either use Google of a list of databases that I provided. For this event:
1st Place - Riverdell Team B
2nd Place - Tenafly Team A
3rd Place - South Brunswick Team A
For the entire olympics Bergenfield High School was the winner. Congratulations to Coach Ara Kahyaoglu and his students.
Congratulations for all the students who particpated. There were no losers at this olympics.
