The history of the Scientech Club parallels the history of Indiana and our nation for the Twenty First Century and the last 82 years of the Twentieth Century. The programs our club members have heard covered the scientific and engineering breakthroughs of their times. Many of the members hearing those programs helped achieve some of those advances.
