​SJP SCI-TECH MEMBERS...

Share a love of discovery.
The SJP Sci-Tech club does three of four major things.  First, we do student research projects - they can be short ones or long ones, but they're always at the center of what we do.  Second, we visit area science facilities - bio-tech companies, pharmaceuticals, green technology startups and established physical research companies.  Every visit is a great learning experience for all of us.  We also do occasional just-for-fun competitions and have competed in the Greater Boston Physics Olympics.  Finally, we help to facilitate student internships, and try to connect what students learn from partner companies with our school's 6-12 science curriculum.

So, mouse around! Look over our shoulders as we visit area science labs, check our our progress on projects, learn about our member's internships, and check out the school-wide competitions we sponsor.  If you want to check us out in real life, visit us in K207 after school on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the school year.

Upcoming	Date	Quick Take
MIT-Bates Physics Lab	Wed, 3/21/18 ​Leave SJP @ 215pm	The MIT-Bates Physics Lab was once home to one of the nation's linear particle accelerators, using high-energy collisions to study the smallest pieces of matter in the universe.  Today, the center works as an arm of the CERN accelerator in Switzerland, as well as housing many other projects, from national security to sustainable energy.  ​  Click Here for Permission Forms.
JEOL, USA	​4/4/2018 Leaves SJP @ 1:45 pm	JEOL is a leading global supplier of electron microscopes, mass spectrometers and NMR spectrometers with its headquarters and demonstration lab in Peabody MA.  Our visit to the lab will include the use of JEOL's Scanning Electron Microscopes.  These SEMs can image a variety of things, from nanoparticles and nanotubes to viruses and cells to semiconductor devices and solar cells to bugs and leaves.  The world of nanotechnology has brought materials science to levels of design that are much different and more powerful than they were twenty or even ten years ago.  Medicine, pollution prevention, and computer chip design are all aided by the power of JEOL's instruments. We are very, very excited to visit with this pioneer and industry leader. Check out JEOL through their video to get a feeling for the company's products and research.

Abiomed	Wed. 4/25/18 Leaves SJP @ 130pm	​​Danvers, MA Biotech: Abiomed is a fast-growing research and development lab located right in Cherry Hill. Inventors of one of the first artificial hearts, Abiomed today has developed an incredibly small pump that has the potential to make heart surgery cheaper, less invasive and medically less complicated.  Their Impella heart pump, no bigger than a pencil eraser, can act as a support to people with damaged hearts, during surgery, and during recovery, making it a flexible new tool in the fight for better patient outcomes.  We are grateful and excited about the chance to meet the team of people Abiomed has set up for us! Field trip will leave SJP at 1:30pm and return by 5pm. Click here for permission forms.​
