Science and technology club update
This week marks the second meeting of the Science and Technology Club, the first Huaxia club initiated and sponsored by students. As a senior student of HXGNY, William Yin started the club, bearing the goal to introduce its members to all different fields of sciences in order to allow them to pursue their own research interests in constructing a research project. During the past weeks, club members have collaborated on selecting their research topics, and have learned about the research process and the Scientific Method. They have also learned about the experimentation process through practical examples, as well as the crucial components to every science research project.With fun live experiments, modern technology, and videos, the club meetings are enjoyable and educational for everyone. Thank William for initiating this wonderful club. Kudos to all club members for participating and parents for their assistance! We hope more students will step up to contribute to the growth and success of the school.
