2011-2012 Solana Vista's Young Scientist Club

The Young Scientist Club is an optional before school activity that allows students to learn about the various careers which involve science. Each week a volunteer (usually a parent) shares how science is used in their jobs. There are often hands-on activities for the students to participate in, and interactive talks and demonstrations. Parents are encouraged to attend and help with any activities.

There will be an Invention Fair in March for any students who are interested in participating, with an evening Reception.
