Check out recent @ConradWeiserHS @Conradweiserasd grad and @PennStateBerks student Erin Horack highlight in an article by the @ReadingEagle about her #spottedlanternfly research and @NationalFFA agriscience fair win. readingeagle.com/2021/11/03/…

This just in! Recent grad, Erin Horack, is a 1st place finisher in the National AgriScience Fair contest at the @NationalFFA convention. Erin studied the carb ratio of plant sap and could be used to predict the feeding preference of the invasive Spotted Lanternfly. @ReadingEagle

Happening now @WeiserMS - 2021-22 Science Fair Kick-Off assembly! @RBSEF1 @Conradweiserasd @ConradWeiserHS

Students from @cw_sri shared their experience with the summer science program with @Conradweiserasd board members tonight. Looking forward to school year mentorship and summer 2022! @WeiserMS @ConradWeiserHS @ReadingEagle @PADeptofEd @BerksStem @BerksIU14

Good luck to Sage Callahan and Courtney Britton, 10th-grade students at @ConradWeiserHS @cwagsci who qualified for the @NationalFFA AgriScience Fair. Recent graduate, Erin Horack, also qualified for the National Fair. @BerksFoundation @BerksStem @Conradweiserasd

This just in, CW SRI student Rowan Rice was named a Top 300 MASTERS in the 10th annual @BroadcomSTEM MASTERS® — the nation’s premier Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) competition for middle school students! societyforscience.org/press-… @Conradweiserasd @WeiserMS

Our instructor team recently met to reflect on our 2021 summer science program. Great ideas were shared and we are excited to implement them over the coming months and into the summer 2022 program. @BerksFoundation @BerksStem @Conradweiserasd @cwagsci @WeiserMS @ConradWeiserHS

Thank you to our team of instructors and interns who each brought their own area of expertise to help make the summer program run smoothly. We are looking forward to the continued mentorship of our students over the next school year.

Thank you to our scientist experts for leading seminars for our students that exposed them to new areas of science and technology. We had a record number of experts from a variety of scientific disciplines from across the country share their knowledge and expertise

As the CWSRI summer program comes to a close and a new school year begins, we would like to thank the @Conradweiserasd, Northeast Agricultural Education Foundation, and the @BerksFoundation for their continued support of our students and program.

As a celebration of our students’ learning and a farewell for the summer program, we held an end-of-program picnic and open house for participants and their families on the final day of our CW SRI summer science program. @BerksFoundation @BerksStem @Conradweiserasd @cwagsci

#TodayatSRI we concluded our annual summer science program! Students started the day by completing a food product design challenge of developing a new kids cereal brand. Students followed the food product R&D process that a real food scientist would follow.

#TodayatSRI We heard from a cookie scientist with @MDLZ and a dairy scientist with Schreiber Foods. Students made jelly to learn about food preservation. Tomorrow we celebrate the end of another CWSRI summer program and look forward to continuing student research this fall.

Happening now @cw_sri - hearing from @MDLZ food and cookie scientist (and @Conradweiserasd alumna) Natalie Keller about product development and innovation. @agsciences @nabisco @BerksFoundation

#TodayatSRI Food Science week continued on Tues with visiting @Conradweiserasd alumni. @agsciences Andy Hirneisen talked about jamming food. Stephanie Keller talked about the field of sensory science. Students learned microbiology techniques and continued independent exploration.

Happening now @cw_sri- basics of food safety and preservation with @PennStateExt Andy Hirneisen.
