Hands on Stem Club:  Hands-On STEM is a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship organization founded by Lynbrook students last year that aims to close the education gap in the world by spreading awareness and providing STEM education and opportunities through workshops to middle-school students from under-privileged or low-income school districts. Through our club, we hope to be able to spread awareness and increase participation regarding this issue. Our club meetings will be during Wednesday “lunch” from 12:20 - 1 where we will go over news in the world regarding the education gap and announcements regarding workshops, the main volunteer opportunity, as well as preparing for them. Those who attend our meetings will also be giving volunteer hours. Please fill out this interest form to be added to the email list. The Zoom link will be sent out later to those on the mailing list.

New Bridge Club on Campus:  Bridge is an extremely popular card game with millions of players worldwide. Through this club, we hope to promote and teach bridge to Lynbrook students and eventually prepare them for the High School Bridge Championship. This is a newly formed club and no experience is needed in order to be a part of our club. Please fill out this interest form if you want to learn bridge.
