Join the RRHS Biotech Club!
The purpose of this club is to explore the area of biology that uses living processes and organisms to manufacture useful technology that elevates people’s standard of living while promoting teamwork within the student community. It acts as a way for students to expand their knowledge in the field of biology. It will also be a place where students share their ideas and enter contests. Moreover, the club educates its members through article discussion, activities, and design simulations online in order to make biotechnology as fun and interesting as possible! Our goal this year(2020-21) is to find a biotech project that all club members can work on and learn more from.
NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!

Our club is planning on having the club members form groups of 3 and pick a biotech product that could be improved every month. As a team, they'll also have to design the newly improved products-probably an online simulation or on Sketchup.
