Meridian Christian Home Educator team takes state’s top spot
Meridian Christian Home Educator team, including members Judah Cross, Nicholas Pace,
Shelton Pace, and Eiljah Sliger, won the East Mississippi Regional Challenge for the You Be The Chemist® Challenge at Meridian Community College and are now the state champions of the competition.
The College's Science and Wellness Division hosted the regional contest earlier this semester.
The You Be The Chemist® Challenge is a collaborative, multi-level student science competition that celebrates the science of chemistry and elevates STEM careers. Fifth through eighth-grade students can compete in teams of three or four.
Sponsored by the Chemical Educational Foundation, the challenge provides opportunities for various individuals and organizations, including schools, chemical industry members, educators, and other community partners, to unite and show their support for STEM education. This year marks the challenge's 20th anniversary.
