UCSD Empower High School Conference

Hispanic Professional Engineers at UC San Diego will be hosting a10th Annual SHPE Empower High School Conference on Saturday, April 20th from 8:00am - 4:00pm. 

Empower is an outreach effort dedicated to inspiring high school students to follow a career in the STEM field. 

This event is FREE for students in grades 9-12, all we ask is that they register on our website (http://shpe.ucsd.edu/empower/) as soon as possible to secure a spot to Empower 2019. 

The direct sign-up link is: https://goo.gl/forms/MCJPwcMsIfTOrjLO2

Students who attend the conference will have the opportunity to work in teams on hands-on activities and workshops, network with UCSD students and faculty, and learn about the many opportunities that a degree in STEM can lead them to do in the future. They will also be given food and a free t-shirt! To top it off, as part of our 10th annual Empower we will be having several company representatives coming to UCSD and personally speak to all attendees in order to clarify any questions the students have about a future in STEM.

We hope to get as many students as possible to come out to this event. I am providing the flyer below, please use it to help share this information with any student that may be interested. Please also inform students to print and bring all waivers already completed the day of Empower.

If you have any questions please feel free to email the organizers of this event at shpeucsd.outreach@gmail.com
