<p>I am a rising juinor and am thinking about starting a club at my school this year. I want my school to be science oriented, but I am not sure how to go about it. I am not sure what activities the club should host, and due to the fact that science is a subject requiring a lot of technical equipments to do anything cool, I don't know how far I can take this club. What/how are science clubs at your school? Any advice for me? =) Thanks.</p>
<p>we have an environment club that competes at county competitions with the other high schools. to my knowledge, thats the only science oriented club at my school. </p>
<p>talk to your science teacher, maybe he or she will have some ideas</p>
<p>We have a Science Club that participates in Science Olympiad, New Jersey Science League, Science Bowl, Academic Challenge, and a couple others. They only have like one or two general club meetings per month. The rest are training days for people who made the teams.</p>
<p>If you got a science teacher to be your advisor, maybe they could let you use their equipment? Or does your school offer funding for clubs? Can you fundraise?</p>
<p>Well, its just that we don't really have competitions like that in Canada. We do have national science fair, which I really can't do this year because I already have way too much on my plate. Also, we have a regional science olympics competition, except it coincides with debate regionals. Last year I picked science olympics, so this year I will go to debate regionals. I am assuming that in U.S. most science clubs are oriented towards competition participation? I was thinking more on independent studies with the club, but I don't really know what to do. lol =P</p>
