华夏大纽约将组成一个学生发起，组织和运行的“科学与技术”俱乐部！这个俱乐部的目的是让学生了解当今的科学与技术，开阔眼界，了解科技课题的类别和培养选题和研究方法习惯，增强对科学与技术的兴趣，开发学生对这方面课题研究的潜能和创新精神。俱乐部会安排了解和观摩科技竞赛博览会，为将来组织成员参加各种科技竞赛作准备。
该俱乐部将于二零一五年一月二十五日举行第一次活动，每两周举办一次活动，时间 12:30 – 1:30pm （这俱乐部不属于一个课程，需要家长更多的帮助和配合，如午饭由家长轮流购买，以及课题相关材料的购买等，要求学生通过俱乐部培养主观能动性和科学与技术的兴趣，具体教室会另行通知）。 如要报名或有任何 建议或问题，请联系：
“Sarah Zhang”  <sarah.zhang68@gmail.com>,  “William Yin” <williamyin08@gmail.com>
Mission Statement:
To share experience of science and technology among students of other schools and to gain insight into current events in science and science competitions and fairs. The club’s aim is to enable students to understand current events in science and technology, enhance interest in these fields of research, broaden horizons for the future, learn research methods, and develop potential towards more ambitious projects later on in life. In the future, club members may participate in various science and technology competitions. This club is initiated, run, and driven by the club members.
Meeting time:  Biweekly (every two weeks) on Sunday at 12:30-1:30pm, starting on January 25th, 2015. (As this is a club and not a class, it will require extra parental cooperation i.e., lunch, the purchase of project materials, etc. Students will be self-motivated and will be expected to actively participate.) Communication: Online group discussion and phone conference (Anytime). Updates, announcements, information, etc. will always be through email and/or Facebook. Club meetings will be held in English.
