Science Club is up and running and anyone who wants to join should see advisors Ms. Turcotte or Mr. Stanton. 

Science Club is a STEM-based club that allows students of all grades to further their knowledge of science and use their skills to compete in events throughout the year. 

“Each event has 2-3 students competing and each student will compete in multiple events. Each group will work together to prepare in whatever way is necessary for that particular event,” Turcotte said. “Some events require researching and studying while others involve laboratory work. There are also building events that require students to build something (bridge, airplane, machine, etc.) and then collect data on its performance before competing with other teams.”

In Science Club, students build projects and do experiments based off of their assigned event or events. 

The competitions include all aspects of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, and others but can also include a lesson in teamwork. 

The team faces off against other schools in the country at prestigious colleges such as Brown, Yale, and more.

“We’re planning on doing Brown this year, ” junior Science Club member Shruti Simhadri said. “ We want to visit Yale but only if we hear that they’re doing it this year.”

The Science Club usually competes at one state and one invitational competition. This year they will compete at Brown University.

“Our goals this year are to win and get some recognition from the events in the competition,” Simhadri said.

The Science Club meets after school on Mondays in Room 212B. 

“Our main goal is to prepare for the competitions and have fun doing science together,” Turcotte said.

The Science Club, one of the many clubs and activities at Jonathan Law, is a way for students to advance their knowledge of science while applying the skills and concepts learned in science classes.
