Waynflete Team Advances in MEST Up Competition

Watch Waynflete’s MEST-Up team of Julianna Harwood ’15 and Stephen Epstein ’15 defeated Greely High School in the MEST Up competition, advancing to the finals against Kennebunk High School.  If you missed it, you can watch the semi-final match when it is aired again on Thursday, the 11th, or by hitting this link.  The Finals will be aired Thursday, December 18, on WPXT (The CW, or Channel 12 locally).

MEST-Up is a television game show that tests high school students in the areas of math, engineering, science, and technology. Schools from around the area send teams of two students to compete head to head in trivia and engineering challenges. At stake, according to the show’s host, “the MEST-Up trophy, brand new iPads, and eternal glory.”

Last spring, a Waynflete team comprised of Ali Ghorashi ’15 and Sophie Benson ’14 won the championship.  Earlier in the fall, Waynflete’s current duo began the defense of the title by  defeating Baxter Academy, Westbrook High School, and Greely High School.  Tune in on Thursday the 18th to see if they can defend the crown.
