Our series highlighting Wolfpack Students and their research has covered, up to this point, some of our high school and university students. Today, we hear from two S. Florida middle school students, both of whom will be starting the 8th grade this coming school year but who are doing incredible research related to space and their individual passions. Arnav Joseph is the lead on two biological papers that will be presented in Athens at the COSPAR conference. His work is investigating bacteria that could be potentially useful in recycling and food supply for astronauts on The ISS or future long term missions. He also is looking into the best growing conditions for lunar colonies. Daniel Levy has a passion for artificial intelligence in its many forms and his work on the use of Micro:Bits as an early coding tool will be implemented in upcoming HAB and CubeSat missions. Whoever thought middle school students couldn’t do this level of work should think again. Of course, stay tuned after for our takeaway, and for information on how your student can join the WCDT.
