Four students from Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School and Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy spent three weeks this summer conducting high-level scientific research at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa. Evan Kravitz, a senior at CES-JDS, and Julia Book, a senior at Berman Academy, conducted tests for a controller that someday may govern the movements of a robotic leg. CES-JDS’ Benjamin Kaminow researched neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that are designed to trap infections. Isaac Dubrawsky, a senior at CES-JDS, studied how airflow is altered as it passes over a thin piece of metal.
