Biomedical, Biotechnology, and Forensic Sciences Club at Sci-Tech
As part of the PV-HCOP program, Springfield High School of Science and Technology (Sci-Tech) has formed an after school biomedical, biotechnology, forensic (BBF) science club. The BBF will meet bi-weekly throughout the school year and will be taught by Sci-Tech science teachers, Ms. Dziok and Ms. Manfredi. The club will pick a science theme such as sports medicine, athletic training, forensic science, and public health issues such as diabetes among others and will spend a month exploring this topic. Student exposure to the topic may include trips off-site to local colleges and hospitals, and will include professional guest speakers.
