LTSFA MA Student Team Earns Statewide Recognition for Sustainable Water Purification Project

Congratulations to Hopkinton Middle School students Tejas Prasad, Aahaan Punjabi, and Mohanakrishnan Narayanan for winning 🥉 3rd Place at the Massachusetts Middle School Science & Engineering Fair in Worcester! Representing the Love to Share Foundation of America, the team impressed judges with their innovative project using calcium alginate beads to remove copper ions from water — a sustainable solution for heavy metal contamination through reusable bead regeneration. 🌍🔬

Competing among 220+ projects and 320+ students statewide, they were also the only team representing Hopkinton Middle School at the fair. A special shoutout to mentor Ms. Geeta Pherwani for guiding them throughout their journey. We are incredibly proud of these young scientists and their outstanding achievement! 👏✨
