Are you a cook? Artist? Gardener? Architect? Something cooler?

Intertwine all your favorite hobbies and your love for the environment into one project. Here is the place for you to be creative and inspire new green solutions.

Design your own experiment(s) and/or research project(s) that must be related to the environment in some way. Feel free to choose your own group or work individually. At the end of each semester, you will present your findings in a science fair. What more? Hop on field trips to learn about different environmental issues and solutions! Thanks to Mr. Smith for his AP Environmental Science inspiration for this club!

Meeting Times:
1:10 p.m. Every Monday Lunch (Mandatory)

3:05 p.m. Every Thursday After school (Cafe@SAS, Optional)

Mr. Smith's classroom L304

OR ask Mr. Smith if you can come work in his room in your own time.

Project Areas
This year we will be organised into two main groups - Major Projects (EcoSci's main experimental projects) - Major projects this year include: - Vertical Garden, Automatic Watering System, which crop grows most efficiently with hydrophonics - Individual Projects (For those who would like to experiment on their own research topics)

Field Trips
Past: Wuxi SunTech Solar Power Plant and Lake Tai Future: coming soon!
