- NEW! Free Summer Program in Physics for High-school Girls: The Stanford Program for Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Physics (SPINWIP) is a summer learning program designed to get high-school girls excited about physics. This 3-week program is completely free to participants and will be held through video chat. Participants will learn about cutting-edge research in physics in fields such as quantum physics, optics and lasers, and astrophysics. They will also learn how to code in Python, and then apply their coding skills to physics-based projects. Participants will attend lectures by Stanford professors and researchers and work in small groups led by Stanford undergraduates, as well as attend college planning and career development workshops. First-generation students and students from underrepresented backgrounds in physics are particularly encouraged to apply. No prior knowledge of physics or coding is needed.
- ScienceSaves Video Scholarship for college-bound high school seniors! All of our lives have been improved by the discoveries of science. Describe an experience in your life that demonstrates that science does indeed save. The experience can be something that happened to you or someone you know. Create a 20-30 second video answering the question “What has science done for me?” or “What has science done for somebody I know?” You will be judged on your ability to highlight how science saves in a succinct, creative way with original photos, video clips, and text. Be sure to add #ScienceSaves to your video. Upload your video below no later than midnight on May 6, 2024.

- CA Middle and High School Students: Climate Video Challenge submissions are due May 30, 2024: The climate crisis, caused by humans primarily through the burning of fossil fuels like oil and gas, is damaging ecosystems and disrupting people's lives in California and across the globe. To combat this crisis, communities are taking action in many different and creative ways. Whether you are inspired by others' work, already part of an active group, or looking to turn an idea into reality, the California Coastal Commission challenges you to answer the question: How is your community responding to the climate crisis?
