High school juniors Kenneth Choi, Ridgefield High School, Ridgefield, Connecticut;Yoland Gao, Ocean Lakes High School, Virginia Beach, Virginia; John Lin, Boston Latin School, Boston, Massachusetts; and Shruthi Ravichandran, Hathaway Brown School, Shaker Heights, Ohio, helped make the website a reality along with a team of 30 other RSI students who provided data gathering and language translation assistance.
“I am so proud of these RSI students for developing this website,” said Joann P. DiGennaro, CEE President. “What a tremendous service they have provided to help people find testing centers. This is yet another example of the impact the Center has in fostering excellence in STEM.”
The “COVID-19 Test Site Locator” website allows individuals in the U.S. to search for testing sites by address and zip code. Visit https://findcovidtests.com/.
