Woodmere Middle School students Hiral Chavre, Ibrahim Rasheed, Sasiru Pathirangage, Tahreem Chaudhry and Carrie Zheng all participated in the LI Math fair. Sasiru Pathirangage researched cryptography. He presented about how cryptography originated and the benefits of using it. Sasiru will be presenting at the final round at Hofstra on April 20th.
