TABC students’ scientific acumen and creativity was on display as the Science Olympiad team earned a second place finish after competing against a dozen of the local yeshivot. The team spent weeks preparing for the event and their hard work was amply rewarded. The competitions of the Olympiad involved a combination of lab work, construction, scientific writing and engineering.

Marc Gottesman and Aaron Fishkind earned second place medals for the Anatomy and Physiology event. Avi Cooper and Avraham Kahan took fourth place in Cell Biology. Yehuda Koslowe and Nathanael Vinar took second place for Dynamic Planet. Hillel Koslowe and Nathanael Vinar took first place in the Fossils competition. Eli Hyman and Moshe Davis took second place in Green Generation. Marc Gottesman and Alex Ostrin took fourth place for Invasive Species. Orrin Kigner (team captain) and Yehuda Koslowe earned fourth place for It’s About Time, a water clock designing competition; they were challenged to construct a clock out of materials not normally associated with such an endeavor. Orrin Kigner and A.J. Book earned first place for Bridge Building. They impressively constructed a bridge that was able to hold 520 times its weight. TABC is proud of its continued and impressive success in math and science competitions.
