The best way is to use react-router library. I highly recommend you to follow the tutorial.

You will get something like this after setting up react-router in your app. 

  <Router history={hashHistory}>
    <Route path="/" component={App}/>
    <Route path="/students" component={Students}/>
  </Router>

The next step is to use Link component from react-router.

// modules/App.js
import React from 'react'
import { Link } from 'react-router'

export default React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Your App</h1>
        <ul role="nav">
          <li><Link to="/about">About</Link></li>
          <li><Link to="/students">Students</Link></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

What you need is not an onClick handler on the button but a Link to route to the correct component

Try and specify route for Student component

and then use

<button type="button"><Link to="/Students">Students</Link>

onClick expects a function and not a component that is why you get an error
