Middletown senior wins $5K National Honor Society scholarship
Delaware News Desk
The National Honor Society announced that Divita Taduvayi, a senior at MOT Charter High School from Middletown, has been selected as a finalist and winner of a $5,625 NHS Scholarship.
Taduvayi was chosen from nearly 10,000 applicants.
The NHS Scholarship program is supported by NHS’s parent organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Taduvayi helped develop Feeding the Ville, a marketplace-style app for food insecurity alleviation, as part of the Food in Neighborhoods Coalition in Kentucky. She is currently the national Technology Director for Girls Go Digital, a student-led nonprofit for young women in STEM, in which she expanded the organization’s reach by redesigning their website, increasing their social media presence and using SEO to improve the site’s visibility. Inspired by her desire to address the STEM gender gap in Delaware, Taduvayi founded Girls Tech Together, a nonprofit that introduces elementary school girls to computer science fundamentals through activities, coding lessons and interaction with professionals.

At the corner of West Pico Blvd. and South Genesee Ave. in west
Los Angeles sits a tan, six-story building. It’s nothing much to look at: It’s set back from the street by a manicured lawn, lined by a row of trees on each side. An American flag flies out front.

At a quick glance, it appears no different from any other office building; it looks like it could be home to medical practitioners, accounting firms, or insurance agencies. But sit outside of it for long enough, and you won’t spot many white collar workers coming in or out. Nor would you catch glance of any workers through office windows. That’s because the windows on this building are fake. In fact, the whole building is a facade; its top is open and inside of it is an active oil well site operated by Freeport-McRoran that produces thousands of barrels of oil per year.
