Invention Convention Awards
Invention Convention Awards
We had two award winning EGMS Students for this year's CT Invention Convention!
Jordan Collie, 8th grade, who won the prestigious CASE award for his Solar Compost Booster invention. His invention speeds up the composting process by applying thermal energy to the compost soil. This is great for the microbes in the compost soil, and helps to develop better compost soil. The device uses a large pipe with heaters mounted to it, that someone would insert into the compost bin, and uses solar energy to generate energy to power the device.
Varshny Sriganesh, 7th Grade, who won the Raytheon Technologies Jules Verne award. She invented her Allergine Mobile app prototype. Her app allowed a person to scan the barcode on food and it would then identify the possible allergens and reactions a person could have to that food. She received assistance in this coding effort from Josiah Friedberg.

The East Granby Middle School YAC will be doing clean up on Spoonville road only, and all participating middle school students must be accompanied by an adult..
Please sign up by April 13th using the signup genius link below so we can know how many people want to participate- family and friends can sign up too!! We will meet at the East Granby Community Center to distribute bags and vests before heading out to Spoonville. If you can not make our event we encourage you to pick a time during the week to walk your own mile strip of street in town and pick up trash. When we all work together we can accomplish important things!”
