Science Club is a STEM-based club at Jonathan Law where students participate in a wide range of activities in the STEM field.

This club allows students to compete in events to gain and practice skills they already have to obtain new opportunities.  “

The goal is to get more kids interested in science and to get more kids competing, and hopefully place in different events,” Science Club advisor Ms.Turcotte said. 

The club will bring two teams of 15 club members on each to their Olympiads this year. Their Olympiads will be at Yale, UConn and Brown. 

Competing in the Olympiads at these universities allows students to catch a glimpse of different college campuses.

“I’m really looking forward to all of us collaborating together and working towards making this a great year for everyone,” Science Club president Arunika Shee said.  “Hopefully we can win some medals at the Olympics this year.”

Because most of the Olympiad students will compete, they will have to be prepared with research. These events include building events, biology events, engineering events, and more. 

“I love the knowledge and experience that I gain from this club,” junior Secretary Meghana Cheela said. “I like working with others who are just as dedicated and interested with science ̈.

This year, the Science Club will be doing fundraising at Chipotle and at a Shake the Can event. 

“This year I’m looking forward to the diverse topics and events to help me with my dream of making a career in medicine,̈  junior member Sanskar Shaw said. ¨I like to be creative and this club allows me to be.”

The Science Club uses buses as a transportation to get to each Olympiad. Brown University is an overnight trip meaning that students will stay for both days.  

The Club officers choose partners for the Olympiad based on the events, similar interests, and their past experiences. 

“The best part of being in the club is being able to explore my interests in the science field,¨ junior Rachna Vipparla said. ¨It will help me a lot with figuring out what I want to do in the future. ̈   

The club is supposed to give students with a passion for science an opportunity in the STEM field.

Science Club allows students to gain experience and expand their learning from hands on activities. The students can then compete with their research and projects if they choose to do so.
