Delaware Student of the Week is a familiar STEM mind from Brandywine High

And then there was another student to spotlight.

Delaware Online/The News Journal is running a new initiative to recognize achievements of high school students across the state through reader voting. This "Delaware Student of the Week" honor looks to highlight academic excellence, extracurricular activities, volunteerism, perseverance and more attributes that make up the lives of so many young scholars.

School principals and other educators sent in nominations — while readers, like you, handled the rest. So in this round, who is our Delaware Student of the Week?

That's Malti John of Brandywine High School, with nearly 64% of the vote this week.

This honors student also helps lead the school's team in Samsung's Solve for Tomorrow STEM Competition, now a national finalist. She's a programming mentor for Brandywine Bots teaching students how to program robots and how to read sensor data, according to her nominator. She's president of the technology association BHS TSA chapter, lead developer for the Augmented Reality Fitness Games for Nemours Children's Hospital and — if that isn't enough — attending Stanford University this fall.

Other students honored this week were Maiss Hussein, Hodgson Vo-Technical High; Brynn Moor, William Penn High; and Hayden Avery of Woodbridge High School.

Readers: Come back for our next poll, now in two weeks. Educators: There's still time to make additional submissions.
