Belmont High students Elizabeth Jerison, Yasmin Afsar, and Maria Baryakhtar took home the first-place prize in the third annual Women of Science Scholarship Competition recently. Bedford High hosted the contest of 20 teams competing in three science-related events and a general knowledge quiz bowl. The goal was to encourage more young women to enter science-related careers. Biology, chemistry, computer science, math, physics, and engineering were all part of the tests, and the students built a tennis ball launcher for the engineering part of the event. High school students from Bedford , Concord-Carlisle , Lexington , Methuen , Dracut , Burlington , Woburn Memorial , and North Andover also competed.
VOICE FOR KIDS: Belmont singer, songwriter, and music teacher Noune Karapetian has gone back to her Armenian roots to make a CD of traditional Armenian children’s songs and some of her originals. A piano and voice teacher for 14 years, Karapetian graduated from Komitas Conservatory in Armenia, majoring in voice, and then studied child psychology for two years at the Pedagogical Institute in Armenia. She was a finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in New England. “A lot of what I do comes from a child’s perspective,” she said. She will perform at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown on June 25 at 3 p.m. Visit www.nounemusic.com for more details.
