Congratulations to Gary Montelongo, a remarkable 7th-grade student at Lorenzo de Zavala! We are thrilled to announce that he has been nationally recognized as a Broadcom Foundation winner in the Coding with Commitment category for his outstanding science project titled "Intruder Detection Using Robotic Sensors." Gary's project not only showcases his exceptional coding skills but also addresses a community problem that aligns with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Gary's dedication and talent have earned him first place in the Regionals, as well as a spot among the top 5 projects in his category at the 2023 Texas Science & Engineering Fair (TXSEF). Moreover, he has been nominated for the prestigious Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, which presents an incredible opportunity for him to visit Washington D.C., share his innovative ideas with other young minds across the United States, and even potentially meet the President of the United States.
Furthermore, by virtue of his remarkable project, Gary has become a part of the esteemed Society for Science, an organization that houses records of the most prestigious scientists. His achievements have brought immense pride not only to himself but to his school and community as well.
We extend our warmest congratulations to Gary for his remarkable accomplishments. He is a shining example of dedication, ingenuity, and the limitless potential of young minds. Well done, Gary!
