SECME (Science, Engineering, Communication, and Mathematics Excellence) is a national supplemental program that promotes academic achievement in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. SECME club offers students many hands-on activities and project based learning challenges. For example, in the annual Olympiad, students square off in engineering contests to design and build mousetrap powered cars, water bottle rockets, and balsa wood bridges; in general knowledge games with the "Brain Bowl," and in literary and artistic competitions with essays, mission patches, banners, and posters.
