POWERS Day registration is now open! Sign up here.

This year's POWERS Day will be on Saturday, October 22nd 2022.

Program
All female-identifying middle and early high school students are invited to a day of fun STEM activities at UCSB! The UCSB AWM (Association for Women in Math) Student Chapter is hosting POWERS Day, which stands for Problem sOlving for Women to Encourage Research in STEM. The activities will include fun with engineering, physics, math, and statistics. We'll also have lunch at the lagoon and an opportunity to hear from undergraduate women majoring in STEM during the undergraduate panel. We aim to make role models available to girls and provide information about STEM workplaces to empower the next generation of women in STEM careers.

Registration
To register for POWERS day, please fill out the form. The event is free and includes lunch, but a $5 donation is appreciated to cover food costs. We can accept up to 25 students. Registration will be first come first serve.

Location and Parking
We will start the day with a yummy breakfast in the Old Little Theatre, building 494 at UCSB. There are a few parking spaces right in front of the theater where parents can drop off students. Here is a link to an interactive map of the university where you can find the location of the building of the College of Creative Studies: map.ucsb.edu. The Old Little Theatre is attached to that building.

Funding for this event comes from CCS (College of Creative Studies).
