Pepito Thelly won the 3rd overall best poster at A&M’s 2024 Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Diversity in Science Symposium! They saw over 100 attendees total and 50 poster presentations and had Dr. Herman as the keynote speaker.

Pepito and his team designed and built “The ElectroCycle” for the Boys and Girls Club of Brazos Valley– an interactive display designed to spark curiosity in kids aged 8-12 about the fascinating world of energy conversion! The exhibit demonstrates the conversion process between human and electrical energy. Pedal away on the bike connected to a generator and watch as your energy powers lights and charges batteries!
