What is SWE Science?
SWE Science Saturdays [Grades 4-5] and SWE Science Scholars [Grades 6-8] are free, monthly programs conducted by UC Berkeley STEM students geared towards teaching young students the fundamentals of science and engineering through hands-on activities and experiments supplemented by presentations and workshops on scientific concepts. During this program, students of all genders will have the opportunity to complete various hands-on STEM activities and experiments while improving their STEM foundation and building on their existing knowledge. This semester, we are planning and hosting in-person events on September 9th, October 7th, November 4th, and December 2nd from 10 am - 12:30 pm.
Some examples of previous experiments we have conducted are Marble Roller Coasters, Aerodynamic Models for Airplanes, Rubber-Band Powered Boat, Strawberry DNA Extraction, and Creating a Battery using Cents.
Who can participate?
SWE Science is divided into two sections: SWE Science Saturdays for 4th-5th grade and SWE Science Scholars for 6th-8th grade students. We welcome students of all genders and backgrounds to attend.
