Ereckson Middle School seventh graders, Nikhitha Swaminathan and Sri Dhanvi Puli, were recently honored for winning in the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Regional Fair Competition.
The project, "QuantMole: Efficient Determination of Molecular Ground State with VQE," employs the cutting-edge Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) method to accurately determine the ground state energy of molecules. This research has profound implications for drug discovery, emphasizing the stability and behavior of molecules in developing new medications. The team's work highlights the importance of quantum computing in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of molecular structure optimization, thereby facilitating the creation of safer and more effective drugs.

Two teams from the Allen STEAM Center and Plano ISD competed in the NASA Hunch Culinary Preliminary Challenge to create dishes for astronauts to use during space travel.
The student teams were tasked with creating a “Savory Breakfast” that included a vegetable, met nutritional standards, and processed well for flight.
The Allen team of Ian Roach and William Hayden Collette created a Chickpea-Chorizo Frittata and Plano made a “Meat Lovers” omelet. Although the scoring was very close, the Plano team’s dish was the winner. Both recipes will be sent to NASA for further review and comparisons from other contests.
Judges included professional chefs and volunteers from Plano and Allen.
