Recap of club fair // clubs on-campus

Last Friday, Simon's Rock hosted its club fair to introduce its students to what their extracurricular options are this semester. The Weekly Cad went around and asked each club to write a pitch for us, in case any students weren't able to come. This is what the club leaders said:

Robotics Club
The Robotics Club is for anyone who is interested in making robotics or understanding the fundamentals of it. We plan on creating structures, whether it is basic or advanced. We might in the future compete in competitions. Prutha and Kacey, founders of the club, have been competing for several years and have a lot of experience in it. We might start off with simple projects to help around campus. Help us mold this club into something you might want to be apart of.

O.R.C.A 
You guessed it! O.R.C.A stands for Organizing Rockers for Civic Action. We love being aware of what is happening in the world of politics and encourage the same enthusiasm among our peers. On a serious note, civic engagement is and always will be important no matter how much you lack faith in the electoral college. We believe in voting! We enjoy taking off-campus trips to canvas for local candidates! We love hosting workshops where we bore you by talking about the government and how it works! Most importantly, in my very humble opinion, we pre-register Rockers to vote. The 2020 presidential election is important (as well as all of the others). So, join O.R.C.A today!

Uncertainty Club
(I could not get a definite answer about what exactly Uncertainty Club was. To my knowledge, they've already sent out an mail with the time and place of club meeting to their members. They were, at least, certain about that).
