X-Ploring the World of Modern Science (Grades 7 - 12)

Through our research and hands-on activities, students will learn new pieces of information about various scientific fields while also collaborating with others to build lifelong friendships and trust. We aim to unlock the scientific potential for all club participants through our informative and engaging weekly presentations regarding modern science topics and hands-on experiments and activities in the science labs and new Exploration center. In this club, many will get to know science and its various subfields in a more fun way by researching new types of topics and getting to know how these phenomena occur in a lab/controlled setting.
