Students will:

- sharpen their informational writing skills, learn storytelling techniques and rhetorical approaches to reach a general audience (e.g. school science fair and robotic competition)
- learn the scientific method in a step-by-step process, which will apply to all science lab report writings, which represents a large percentage of a student's grade in science (e.g. physics, chemistry, biology) classes
