Extracurricular

Our science department is actively involved in cutting-edge research, in collaboration with well-known universities. We take pride in providing an environment that fosters knowledge and encourages students to participate in world-class research. The department is currently in collaboration with McGill University and Polytechnique Montréal for two research projects.

In collaboration with Professor Derek Rosenzweig at the department of experimental surgery, we explore the 3D printed bioactive scaffolds with potential applications in drug delivery and bone replacement. The project involves the design and 3D printing of the scaffolds, as well as Containment Level 2 (CL2) microbiology work.

In collaboration with Professor Oussama Moutanabbir at the department of engineering physics, we explore hybrid semiconductor/graphene materials at the nanoscale for applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Depending on the research project, internal and external scholarships may be available. Check this webpage often for calls for applications and/or speak with your program coordinator to inquire about research, funding, and scholarship.

All Science and Springboard to DEC students are encouraged to compete in four (4) annual competitions in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. The top-ranked students will be awarded scholarships and will represent TAV College at national competitions. Preparation classes will be offered prior to the national competitions.

The Department of Science at TAV currently offers two (2) clubs: the Robotics Club and the 3D Printing Club.

Registration for clubs occur at the beginning of each semester in the main lobby of building A. You must register to become a member in order to use the club facilities.

In this club, students work together on advanced robotics projects, ranging from drone programming to building automated robots. You will learn the fundamentals of circuits, programming, and blueprint design.

Joining this club provides an excellent opportunity to be introduced to the new and emerging technology of 3D printing. Students learn to model, slice, and print their own projects using a variety of materials and printers.

The 3D printing club accommodates all levels of interest whether it be printing components for complex mechanical designs or designing 3D art projects. TAV College also provides access to the 3D printing room for all students and provides technical support for those who lack the experience to print their own projects.
