    Science clubs are extracurricular clubs that allow students to do hands-on science activities beyond the classroom. They aim to foster students' interest in science through exploration of topics not covered in the curriculum. Science clubs are organized by teachers and allow students freedom to pursue their own ideas and experiments. Their goals are to supplement classroom learning, develop scientific skills and attitudes, and connect students to the broader science community through activities like science fairs. Effective organization requires an engaged leader to plan activities, record events, and invite speakers to inspire students' passion for science.
