Brenner Honors High School Students Selected by NASA

COLUMBUS—State Senator Andrew Brenner (R-Delaware) honored Delaware Hayes High School Students for their selection as the top team in the NASA App Development Challenge and for receiving an invitation to the Johnson Space Center.

"This is an extremely accomplished group of young Ohioans," said Senator Brenner. "Through their hard work, perseverance, and resolve, they created a nationally competitive solution to a literal astronomical problem. I look forward to watching all that these student will achieve in their future endeavors."

The NASA App Development Challenge is a competitive coding challenge in which NASA presents technical dilemmas involving deep space exploration missions to middle and high school students seeking student contributions to deep space exploration missions. This year, students had 10 weeks to create a video showcasing their application visualizing the flight path of Artemis II, while taking in to account vital communications factors.

The Delaware Hayes team consisted of high school students Madeline Bruns, Nat Zahniser, Jason White, Elise Buckerfield, and Isaac Highman, and were led in their efforts by their advisor, Joanne Meyer.
