Registration for Winter 2018 is now open! Click the button below to register online.
Winter Club Dates:
January 27th
February 3rd, 10th, 24th (there is no meeting on February 17th)
March 3rd, 10th, 17th
Everyone gathers at the main entrance (lobby) of the Engineering building for check-in (9am or 1pm depending on whichever timeslot you chose to register in). There will be sign-in tables where the campers will meet. From there the SCI-FI instructors will lead their groups to their classrooms. The instructors will lead everyone back to the main entrance for check-out (12 pm for the end of the morning shift, 4 pm for the end of the afternoon shift).
The Saturday Science Clubs program will include tours on campus, science activities and engineering projects. We try to change the take-home projects year after year in such a way to minimize the chance of a student building the same project two years in a row. Usually each week features a different theme in science and engineering. The curriculum is also completely different in each term. Topics from the last year included biology, logic, space, health science, chemistry, technology, rocks and fossils, physics, computer science, and environmental science.
