CMIT North is delighted to announce the remarkable achievements of our students at the 76th Annual STEAMM Fair Awards! Outperforming 33 high schools in PGCPS, 5 high schools in Calvert County, and 3 high schools in St. Mary's County, our students have showcased excellence in science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, and medicine (STEAMM).

• Joseph Tinio won First Place in Engineering Technology from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics—National Capital (AIAA-NCS). As part of his award, he received an AIAA-NCS membership until his high school graduation, along with a memorable gift and $25. Additionally, he's been invited to participate in a two-day mission design lifecycle experience at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center.
  
• Nehemiah Howard placed second in Biomedical & Health Sciences and received Meritorious Achievement recognition from the Commissioned Officers Association of the US Public Health Service for his innovative approach to public health concerns. He was awarded a $25.00 cash prize for his outstanding achievement.
  
• Christian Sopa was recognized by the Patent and Trademark Office Society for his exceptional originality, analysis, and clarity in science and technology. His project, now undergoing patent application, holds promise for exclusive rights, commercialization opportunities, and partnerships upon approval. A patent can also boost project value, attract investors, and bolster credibility in the field.
  
• Erykah Watson earned third place in the Animal Science category, showcasing her dedication and expertise in the field. Her outstanding performance garnered recognition from judges and peers alike for her meticulous research and innovative approach to animal science.
