EGHS Enters Two Teams in 2018 Technovation Challenge
From Mrs. Eaves-
East Greenwich High School had two teams submit entries to the 2018 Technovation Challenge. https://technovationchallenge.org/about/ This is an entrepreneurial tech challenge for middle school and high school women. These young ladies worked hard to enter this challenge having to submit: a working app, business plan, pitch video, demo video and other artifacts describing the design process.
Team Code Mood submitted an app called, In the Mood, designed for personalized emotional management and communication geared toward the special needs or 504 population. Code Mood team members: Sarah Brusini, Jillian Valente, and Lucy Yu.
Team Code Trip submitted an app called, Easy Eats, designed to help people with special needs cook. It provides step by step pictures, text and text to speech. The clientele could expand to children learning to cook and possibly Alzheimer patients. Code Trip team members: Katie Cretella, Lauren Shanos, and Morgan Prior.
Six teams from Rhode Island submitted to the challenge; three teams from RI attended the showcase in Boston Massachusetts. I am proud of the teamwork, process, and product these young ladies displayed and I am happy to report that our team, Code Trip, with the app Easy Eats made top ten in the Massachusetts regional showcase.
Team Code Trip's Pitch Video can be viewed below and found here. The team's Demo Video can also be viewed below and found here
Congratulations to both teams! Great job Avengers!

Class of 2018 Valedictorian Wins National Merit Scholarship
The Principal, Michael J. Podraza, of East Greenwich High School is pleased to announce that Senior and EGHS Class of 2018 Valedictorian, Laura C. Murphy has been selected as a winner of a National MeritⓇ $2500 Scholarship. All winners of about 7,500 National Merit Scholarships were chosen from the group of approximately 15,000 distinguished Finalists.
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)—which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.6 million entrants each year—and by meeting published program entry and participation requirements.
All winners of Merit Scholarship® awards (Merit Scholar® designees) are chosen from the Finalist group based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments—without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference. A variety of information is available for NMSC selectors to evaluate: the Finalist's academic record, information about the school's curriculum and grading system, two sets of test scores, the high school official's written recommendation, information about the student's activities and leadership, and the Finalist's own essay. Further information about Merit Scholarship® awards and the selection process can be found at www.nationalmerit.org
Our congratulations go out to Ms. Murphy on being awarded this scholarship. It is a wonderful testament to her dedication, hard work and constant pursuit of excellence.
