The Jonathan Law Science Club is a club for students to join in order to connect and explore their interests in STEM. There are a wide range of choices such as building items, experiments, or learning more about other science topics. Advocate Staff Reporter Alex Rodriguez interviewed club member Jack Bretthauer on what the club has planned in the future. 

Alex Rodriguez: What made you want to join the Science Olympiad Club?

Jack Bretthauer: I really wanted to join my junior year after I saw the video promoting the club on the news.  It seemed like a lot of fun and the people that were already involved in the club spoke highly about it which made me excited to join. 

AR: What do you enjoy about the Science Olympiad Club?

JB: I really enjoy going on the trips that we go on. We get to go out of state and stay in a hotel so those trips are always really fun.

AR: What are some responsibilities a student has in the Science Olympiad Club?

JB: We all have to prepare for our events for the competition. These can be testing events or building events that we compete against in other schools.

AR: What are some activities that go on during some of your meetings?

JB: We usually work on our events, this can be finding formulas or putting together our builds. We also work on fundraising events. 

AR: Does the club have any events that you work toward throughout the year?

JB: We are going to Brown university and UConn this year to compete against other schools. Brown will be a competition against schools all over the country so it is very exciting.
