Jonathan Law’s Science Club seems is preparing to compete in several events this school year.

This year, the club will be competing at UConn and Brown to showcase their hard work. The team placed well in many events last year and are hoping to improve and earn even more medals. 

“About 10 or so years ago a few students approached Mr Stanton and I about starting a Science Club with the purpose of competing in Science Olympiad competitions,” science teacher and Science Club advisor Ms. Turcotte said. “We agreed and have been doing it since.”

Members said that Science Club is a perfect opportunity to broaden your knowledge about science and make new friends.

“Other students should join Science Club because it’s a really fun way to interact with other peers and see how science can be applied in so many different ways,” senior Moulika Sivalenka said. “Other benefits from participating in competitions are that it prepares students in fast thinking and improves their quick decision making.”

The students in Science Club are passionate about the subject matter and about the competition aspect.

“I joined Science Club my freshman year because I was really interested to see what the club was about because so many upperclassmen and freshman I knew were doing it,” Sivalenka said. “I also wanted to explore different avenues of science and broaden my perspectives about science.”

Senior Jack Bretthauer enjoys the collaboration shown by the club.

“I wanted to be surrounded by people who care about science and collaborate together and compete against other schools around the country,” senior Jack Bretthauer said. 

Science Club was created for students who have a passion for science and engineering and are interested about competing Announcements about upcoming meetings will be made on Eagle Eye News and if students have any questions, they can ask a club member, Ms. Turcotte, or Mr. Stanton.
