Among the many opportunities that Bronx Science has to offer, engineering is a major course that students participate in throughout their four years. As ninth graders, first coming into the school, students can take Elements of Engineering. In this class, they are introduced to many concepts and learn a variety of tasks such as creating a working LED circuit, designing models on Tinkercad, using a 3-D printer, as well as several others! These experiences and lessons lay the foundation for future classes such as Experimental Engineering, class seniors can participate in after taking Chemistry and Physics. In addition to this, students can gain more hands-on experiences in this field by joining one of the two robotics teams! The Sciborgs and FeMaidens are both determined and cooperative teams that have continuously received awards and won competitions for their hard work!
