Vantage Science and Technology Review
Club's Purpose
As the concepts of technology such as A.I., Gene Editing, and Micro Robotics in our daily lives increase, we as students, the next generation, and the biggest stakeholders of these new concepts must familiarize their purpose, impact, and importance in our society. The best way for us students to approach such a broad concept is to engage as much as possible with them through reading articles, exchanging ideas, and expressing their opinions through writing and publishing them. We will read, present, discuss, write, and publish their articles about different topics in MIT Technology Review and Caltech magazine and let future scientists express their ideas and approach their dreams closer. Furthermore, by holding various activities in our community each season, we will make scientific innovations more engaging to the community.
Club's Vision and Ideology
Students of all ages who are passionate about contemporary technology and technological issues can join this club. Students will acquire copious knowledge and share ideas via examining MIT Technology Review and Caltech news articles, one of the world’s most credible science magazines, presenting what they learned, writing on those science topics, and publishing their works. The club is looking for future-oriented students who are thinking ahead and individuals who are ready to gain broad scientific knowledge. With the weekly meetings, our club hopes for the students to develop a funnel sight in the vast science field and express their thoughts. Our club is looking forward to our club members learning and expressing concepts about new technologies and utilizing them in our society in the future to make the world a better place to live in.
