School club looks to re-engage boys In math and science

Story here. Excerpt:

'The two Heritage High School science clubs are in head-to-head competition with their NASA challenge experiments. They're also trying to outdo each other with entries for a coming science fair.

Members of the fledgling girls-only STARS predict that they'll mop up.
