POWERS Day registration is now open! Sign up here.

This year's POWERS Day will be on Saturday, February 22nd from 10am-2pm.

All female middle school students are invited to a free 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 seminars in physics, math, and statistics, lunch at the lagoon, and more! 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. (All woman-identified or nonbinary middle school students are welcome.)

Registration for POWERS day is only $5 and lunch will be included!! We can accept up to 25 students. Registration will be first come first serve.

Although the event will start at 10 am, we encourage you to arrive 15 min. before 10 am. We will start our activities 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. The Old Little Theatre is attached to that building. map.ucsb.edu

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