FOR THE EAGLE HUNTSVILLE – Viridian, a team of Wiregrass students, won the high school division in the seventh HudsonAlpha Tech Challenge held March 1-3 in Huntsville, competing among 80 high school and college students and professionals.
“We are so honored to host the HudsonAlpha Tech Challenge with a record-breaking crowd this year,” said Tyler Clark, HudsonAlpha Economic Development specialist and HATCH lead. “Our presentations were standing-room only! It’s amazing that we get to help students and professionals across Alabama learn how to or continue their journey in biotechnology, coding and bioinformatics.”
NutriSpace won the College/Professional division. The team consisted of Mia Kotalik and Ethan Rush of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and Karl Kotalik. NutriSpace built a comprehensive web and mobile-accessible app designed to ensure the nutritional well-being of astronauts. It considers individual genetic variations to tailor dietary recommendations that mitigate the risk of health issues, especially when fresh produce is scarce and every gram of payload counts.
NutriComp, a team made up of Jesiah Powell and Ray Hatsko of Eufaula High School and Wallace Community College, Tiffany Ewing of SAIC, Ethan Jones of UAH, and Phillip Ewing Jr., a graduate of Auburn University and MIT, placed second in the College/Professional division.
