Ryan Velarde, a freshman at Erie High School, is part of a new science-based club at Erie High School called the S.M.A.R.T. team, which stands for Students Modeling A Research Topic. Students work as teams to understand a molecular story and to design and build a physical model of a protein that is the focus of a research project. Students ultimately work to design proteins, 3D print the proteins, and present the story of their work to members of academia. The ultimate goal of the team is to present their work in the National Competition. To learn more about S.M.A.R.T. teams, click here.
