Last night, Edison High School's Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam showcased their remarkable progress on an innovative project to mitigate pollution in New Jersey’s Raritan River, aiming to support both residents and local biodiversity. One of only eight nationwide, the team was awarded a $7,500 grant from the Lemelson-MIT Program to develop an innovative solution to pollutants in the Raritan River, a crucial water source for over 1.8 million residents. Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged with the team, asking insightful questions as they refine their project. Your support fuels their innovation! Let’s celebrate these young problem-solvers as they work toward a cleaner, healthier future and prepare to present their final prototype on a national stage at MIT's EurekaFest this June.
