The NSTA/Toshiba ExploraVision is a national science competition that engages students’ abilities to create technology solutions to real-life challenges. Rebecca Bral and Elisheva Weiner, seventh-grade YBH students participating in an advanced science program at YBH known as E2K, were recognized for having designed a shoe for blind people to aid them navigate without the use of a cane.

They were the only yeshiva students in the tri-state area to have achieved recognition in this competition for their accomplishments.

We attribute this high level of achievement in the sciences to our innovative science teacher, Rabbi Heshy Wieder, who has guided his class to winning this prestigious award from the National Science Teachers Association/Toshiba ExploraVision.
