In middle school, Chelsea Thompson and Stephanie Fishkin entered The Ingenuity Project, an advanced instructional program for Baltimore city students that aims to launch the next generation of STEM leaders.
Now juniors at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute — aka Poly — Thompson and Fishkin are taking on AP courses and research. Throughout, the Ingenuity Project, which is offered for about 700 students from sixth through 12 grade, has remained a constant, and especially supported a love of math.
