Meike's 4 projects all qualified for the state level, where she won two 2nd places. In 2004, Meike, Moritz Plötzing and Benedikt Lorbach became state champions and national champions for the best interdisciplinary project of Germany in recognition of their work on carbon nanotubes. Another particularly notable achievement is Meike's development of an intelligent toothbrush which won a total of 6 awards in 2001.
