Grossman is one of 300 honorees nationwide. She and Croton-Harmon High School will each receive $1,000.
Grossman was recognized for her research on assessing the range of motion of the upper limb in a modified box and block test, which she conducted last summer at the University of Alberta’s Calgary Centre Laboratory.
“It is not a complex idea, but it has a lot of benefits,” Grossman said in a press release.
Last summer in Canada, she worked with her mentors, scientists Jacqueline S. Hebert and Craig Chapman.
“I am so happy the judges saw how excellent her work really is,” Donna Light-Donovan, science research teacher at Croton-Harmon High, said in a press release.
“She has a lovely project and has been a great student.”
Grossman, who plans to study biology in college, said her research and its findings could offer the country’s growing number of amputees a more effective therapy method.
“It’s important for them to have appropriate practice tools to use prostheses to their full potential,” she said.
Intel will name 40 finalists on Wednesday, Jan. 21. The finalists will travel to Washington, D.C., in March to compete for more than $1 million in awards.
