Team VitaFlow Wins Again!
Team VitaFlow Wins Again!
Members of the RHS Applied Engineering Club on Team VitaFlow, which earned 2nd place at NJSTEAM Tank last year, competed in the Thomas Edison Pitch Contest, capturing 1st place at the event held at Thomas Edison National Historical Park. Their victory in this highly competitive international event marks the first time since 2020, with the win of Lemelson-MIT Solar Aqua Tech InvenTeam, that the Applied Engineering Club under the direction of Dr. Labowsky and Mr. Richard Plattel has achieved this honor.
The team includes seniors Elliott Yi (Princeton-bound), Aarav Motivala (Berkeley-bound), Ben Soung (Brown-bound), and junior Mathias Levani.
What's even more remarkable? The members completed the AP Physics C exam that same afternoon, then traveled to West Orange to deliver a presentation the judges deemed exceptional. Bravo team! Thank you for representing RPS so well!

Inspired? Learn to Row is now open for registration. Rowing is one of the rare sports where you can pick it up in high school and still reach the highest levels of competition — several of this year's national competitors didn't start until sophomore year.
