About

Welcome to the Cellula, a featured competition in Schoolhouse Nexus to celebrate Schoolhouse’s 5th Anniversary! This event is designed to test participants’ knowledge of Biology while also evaluating key skills such as critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. Participants will compete in a structured, multi-round format, with increasing difficulty and elimination at each stage.

Event Heads: Claire S and Aaron Y

Whether you’re looking to pursue a future in medicine, trying to improve your biology skills, or just passionate about biology, this competition is a great way to have fun and improve your passion! Biology is much more than memorization - you’ll be required to actively apply your skills if you want to succeed in the competition. 

Cellula will challenge you on a wide array of biology topics, from botany to physiology to toxicology. Each event will feature different style to the competition such as kahoots, presentations, and FRQs.

Want to join as a participant or an audience member? Sign up now and be part of the celebration! We look forward to seeing you there!

View Profile

I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Madison, where I studied Molecular and Cell Biology and Scientific Communication. I currently work at an international biotechnology company working in their small molecule department as a scientist developing new medicines. I have a love of learning which has led me to be able to speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish, and I am currently learning more. In addition to my academic studied, I also play numerous instruments. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in all levels of school. I love school and want to help others gain the passion for learning and enjoy not only the outcome, but also the process. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.

Hi I am a high school sophomore currently, I want to help students of all backgrounds achieve their potential and succeed. I like to self-learn topics and master them using free resources like Khan Academy. I completed a self study of the SAT exam and got a score of 1500+ in august after freshman year (2024). I love running, outdoors, computers, math, and biology, if you need something let me know and we can arrange a session! :) September 2024 - Started tutor journey here
