In hopes of nurturing local talent and future scientific leaders, Jersey City Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, in partnership with Liberty Science Center, hosted the 33rd annual Hudson County STEM Showcase.

More than 400 students showcased their projects across various scientific and engineering disciplines, with the aim of honing their technical skills, creativity, and critical thinking.

The showcase, held on March 11 at Liberty Science Center, presented projects across 22 categories, ranging from environmental science to advanced robotics. These projects were evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges composed of more than 150 leading scientists, engineers, and educators who were impressed by the students’ ingenuity and depth of understanding.

The winners will be announced during a special ceremony on March 25. The most outstanding projects will earn their young creators top honors, including the opportunity to represent Hudson County at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles, marking their presence on the global stage of scientific inquiry.
