Siemens-Westinghouse Finalists
on NY1 News

Some of Midwood's most talented students were the centerpiece of a feature that aired November 1999 on the all-news cable channel NY1 (New York One). Education Reporter J. D. LaRocque spent a day interviewing students and staff in the school's research program. Focus centered on the six finalists in the 1999 Siemens Westinghouse science competition. As shown in the video capture to the right, they are (from left to right): Emmanuelle St. Jean, Alexander Eng, Eugene Simuni, Ilya Sherman, Lawrence Fung, and Nazish Qadeer.
