Always happy to enjoy a mini photo shoot with these amazing young and talented human beings!! They are all so busy doing big things at McDonough High school all while engaging in personalized asynchronous STEAM research projects! Looking forward to showcasing their work soon!

Congratulations to our three newest MHS BioMATH researchers! Jude Bugenhagen. will explore the mathematics of originality, creativity, and influence in clothing design; Elzie Ross will investigate possible patterns connecting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s basketball performances and fashion choices; and Beautifull Belton will examine how nanotechnology connects with other STEM fields such as neuroscience, astronomy, life science, engineering, and statistics. We are excited to see their curiosity develop into meaningful research projects this year! Welcome to the MHS BioMATH Research Club!

Couldn't be more proud of our Warhawk STEAM Scholars for taking a moment to complete an internship workshop, learn more about college-based internships, meeting new people, growing career interests, stipends, and taking positive risks, and walk away with two internship leads and support documents! Big thank you to Shanelle Williams, a 2026 Tuskegee Borlaug Scholar, who shared her experiences in environmental science, food scarcity, and cosmetic science!

Join the MHS BioMATH STEAM Research Club for our STEM/STEAM Internship Workshop featuring Shanelle Williams and her experience at Tuskegee, on Monday, September 14, from 3:30–4:30 PM in the Media Center. Learn how to find internships, build a brag sheet, and prepare for applications and teacher recommendations. Bring your Chromebook and your Warhawk Pride!

Thank you to our 25 scholars who showed interest in our MHS BioMath STEAM Research Club! Thank you also to our most recent Distinguished Research Scholar Kathryn Zinnamon for leading the charge with Club Rush and our volunteer club members Za'rriyah Middleton and Elijah Drummond for their #WarhawkPride involvement as well! If you did not get a chance to sign up, please stop by Room 222 tomorrow OR email Ms. Presley at [email protected] Our first meeting is Monday, September 14th! Look out for more updates soon!

Fernbank Science Center Presents: @fernbankscience Black Holes Where: The Jim Cherry Memorial Planetarium at Fernbank Science Center - 156 Heaton Park Drive Atlanta, GA 30307 Time: Mondays- Saturday at 3:00 pm., June 29th - July 25th Presley will be there at the Tuesday show, June 30th Tickets: purchase at the front desk upon entry OR at fernbank.edu/planetarium.htm… Audience: Best for ages 8 and up Black Holes takes you on a fully immersive journey through one of the most mystifying, awe-inspiring phenomena in the universe: a black hole. Where do they come from? Where do they go? How do we find them? Is there one on Earth’s horizon? What was Einstein’s connection to them? This a planetarium is a celestial theater in the round, utilizing the Digistar 7 10K projection system. The planetarium has one of the highest resolutions of any planetarium in the world, creating a stunning immersive environment, while guiding the audience through the wonders of the universe!

Where are our 2020 Founding BioMath STEAM Research Club Members now? Check out how much these Warhawks have soared since leaving the nest! Keara Field @ Brown University is participating in the University of Michigan’s Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP), a ten-week summer research experience under the mentorship of University of Michigan faculty, dive into faculty-led research projects, build new professional connections, and gain valuable insights into the graduate school admissions process alongside talented students from institutions across the country. Tyler Ladge @ Tuskegee University has accepted a position as an Engineering Intern with James Hardie Industries to gain practical engineering experience in manufacturing operations and broadening my professional network. He also won the SIAC Tennis Championship in Atlanta this season. Imani Grier Edwards @ Tuskegee University has participated in several HBCU Leadership opportunities, is the recipient of Keidra Gayle Davis Scholarship at Tuskegee University, and attended the 12th Annual National HBCU Pre-Law Summit & Law Expo at Georgia State University. Andrew Martin @ University of Southern Mississippi has excelled from the collegiate football field to the classroom. Earned Academic All-District honors and advanced to the Academic All-American ballot! He currently is majoring in Environmental Science with a 3.8+ GPA and playing Linebacker at University of Southern Mississippi. Continue working on those research projects club members and join the club this Fall at Club Rush if you are interested in diving deeper into your own interest topics through standards-based math and science applications!

Congratulations to one of our MHS BioMath Founding Club Members, Tyler Ladge, for winning the 2026 SIAC Championship!!!

Big shout-out to some more of our amazing student-athlete-Honors STEAM Community scholars, Aleeza and Kang, for their dedicated support with Our Rising 9th Grade Warhawk Night! They, along with the entire 9th grade SGA Cabinet, delivered phenomenal speeches to our rising 9th grade parents and students about their high school experiences and resilient advice. They also helped with the set-up and breakdown for our MHS BioMath STEAM Research Club! Thank you for your service!

Our very on Kathryn Zinnamon defended her BioMath STEAM Research project. Using 10 video screenshots footage of NBA star Jimmy Butler's recent ACL injury, DESMOS Geometry, and DESMOS Graphing tools, Her study was "A Frontal Plane Injury Analysis of an ACL Tear Using Angles, Time, and Quartic Models. Check out her peer-defense before our Cluster STEAM Night began as she shares her story! @MHS_WarHawks @PrincipalBGame @ENunnallyEdu @kbturner973 @MWatson_AP @Tasha_T_Simpson @McDonoughHS_AD @Math_HCS @TriMATHleteUSA

Our Warhawks had the privilege of exploring STEM college and career pathways at Clayton State University's K-12 STEM Exploration thanks to @ClaytonState , @OneGoalGraduate , and @MHS_WarHawks ! @PrincipalBGame @ENunnallyEdu @kbturner973 @MWatson_AP @McDonoughHS_AD

We have some fantastic STEAM research happening at McDonough High School! Featured in this video: Kathryn - Frontal Valgus ACL Knee Injury Quartic Function Kylei - Exceeding Expectation Push-Up Z-Scores Kang - Translated Elliptical Orbits in a 3D Graph.

Two fellow BioMath Researchers doing big things!

Kathryn and Kylei share their sports-applied mathematics research project topics from our last club meeting! Can't wait to see what they discover!

MHS Biomath/STEAM Club is bringing in the new year with new opportunities to learn about applied maths and sciences. Today we spotlight Ava and Kang building circuits! Next week we will see how they turn out!

Congratulations Class of 2025 Researchers!!!
