Reflection on Discussion on Looking at Substance Use Through an STS Lens – Sion S. (’27)

Introduction One of the largest updates for our club which happened this year was the merge between STS club and STEM: Spotlight. As the leader of both clubs and my interest in tackling substance use disorder, I always had a lingering question in mind: how can we take something as personal and controversial as substance use and examine it through the STS lens which is … Continue reading Reflection on Discussion on Looking at Substance Use Through an STS Lens – Sion S.

Saint’s Science Technology Society – Christopher L. (’27)

At Stanford University, STS majors gain a broad understanding of how science, technology, and society interact, while developing depth within two or three focus areas. The aim of this club is similar: I created SSTS club to celebrate the interdisciplinaryiness of society and science, which I don’t think is appreciated enough. Although it may not seem like it, science exists in every aspect of life, … Continue reading Saint’s Science Technology Society – Christopher L. (’27)

Robotics Club: Balloon Bot Competition – Thomas S. L. (’27), Daniel W. (’28)

We’re Thomas and Daniel, members of the Saints Robotics club. Last winter, we represented Saints to compete against Notre Dame Secondary School in a robotic tournament: the Balloon Battle.

The waves of enemies grow increasingly difficult, becoming more numerous and stronger. To survive, the player is able to upgrade stats, purchase power ups, and upgrade weapons in … Continue reading Game Development Club: Arena Shooter – Ken Z. (’26)

Game Development Club: School Modeling – Marek C. (’26)

We’re Marek C., Thomas L., and Ken Z., the leaders of the Game Development Club. In this post, we’re documenting our first collaborative team-building project. We decided that it would be a great exercise to try and recreate iconic parts of the Saints Senior School campus in a game engine. We chose Roblox Studio for its easy accessibility, learning curve, and collaborative properties. We started … Continue reading Game Development Club: School Modeling – Marek C. (’26)

Aviation Club – Frank L. (’26)

I’m Frank, and I’m starting a club about aviation and aerial photography this year. My goal is to broaden the field of vision on the topics of drone flying, aerial photography, explore the mechanics of an airplane, and finally construct a model airplane. Pending sponsorship from a relevant company, we will assemble and experiment with model aircraft. Over the course of this club, we will … Continue reading Aviation Club – Frank L. (’26)
