More than 100 middle and upper school student researchers shared their projects at the annual Bolles Science Expo Dec. 7 in Cain Gym on the Bolles Upper School San Jose Campus. A more comprehensive approach to an annual science fair, the event included displays of research projects and demonstrations from students in science and technology classes, as well as clubs like the middle school’s Biomimicry Club.
2023 SPARK Scholars Christina Dovellos, Madeline Kaiser, Annika Mirjankar, Simran Naval, Krish Patel and Amanda Tun also had projects in the Expo. SPARK, which stands for Science Program for the Advancement of Research Knowledge, started at Mayo Clinic in summer 2017 for students from Duval and St. Johns counties. The SPARK Research Mentorship Program provides high school students with mentored research experience in world-class laboratories at Mayo Clinic.
