Mass Academy of Math and Science

Innovation with purpose! This spring, our students have designed and built assistive technology to support real community needs. Join us at Mass Academy on May 20 for our annual Assistive Technology Fair and experience their work firsthand. Open to the community - hope you can join us!

We are incredibly proud to recognize three Mass Academy students for their exceptional accomplishments in technology and computer science:

Naaisha Agarwal and Nichelle Thinagar
Recipients of the 2026 NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing – Massachusetts Winner Award, honoring their talent, leadership, and passion for computing. As award winners, they join a national community of young technologists and gain access to scholarships, internships, and other opportunities.

Abhiraam Venigalla
Named the 2025 Congressional App Challenge winner for Massachusetts’s Second District, Abhiraam developed NeuroLens, a deep‑learning app that detects and analyzes brain tumors from MRI scans—an innovation with real‑world impact on healthcare accessibility and diagnosis.

These students exemplify creativity, persistence, and purpose in computing, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they’re using technology to make a difference. Great job!

BIG News for M**S Math!

M**S students have been working diligently all year on several different math modeling challenges and competitions and now we are seeing some amazing results!

10 teams created actuarial projects and recommendations for Modeling the Future Challenge. All 10 were named semi-finalists and competed in the New England Regional round. Only 3 teams in the region become finalists and are invited to compete in the national round. M**S secured 2 of those 3 spots. Great job Team!
