UCSD Young Physicists Program
The young physicists program has been a staple of the UCSD Physics
department's outreach to area middle and high school students. The
program is designed provide area students with a chance spend a morning
learning about important concepts in physics through the use of demonstrations
(such as tesla coils, vacuum cannons, and more), hands on labs, and lectures
from current UCSD faculty and researchers. Following the program,
students are provided with pizza and soda.
This Saturday (March
8th) we'll be learning about geometric optics and waves. Students will be able
to build (and keep!) their own simple telescopes and learn about the wave
behavior in sound, light, and slinkys.
UCSD requires that participants in outreach programs associated with the university fill out a waver once a year. This waver can be found here http://ypp.ucsd.edu/waivers/waiver.pdf.

Career Day - THANK YOU!
On behalf of the SUHi Counseling Team, I’d like to extend a
BIG THANK YOU to our entire staff for helping with Friday’s Career Day!
THANK YOU to our dozens of career speakers who came to meet with our students. We had such a great group of people participate! Having met all of our speakers, our students have had an invaluable experience in learning more about their career interests. Seeing students interact and ask lots questions of the professionals was so rewarding to our counseling team. We look forward to working with you all again in the future! For a complete list of our career day speakers, click here.
During the registration and reception in the morning, it was
a bit overwhelming having over 80 career speakers in the library. Lots of suits
and ties, doctor scrubs, military uniforms, and more!
THANK YOU to the counselors,
Marti, library staff, and administration to helping meet and greet all of our visitors. Many of
our speakers were SUHi alumni so they were super happy to be “home”!
THANK YOU to all the teachers and support staff who were
great hosts in the classrooms. Thanks for your flexibility with changes in
speakers and venues, and even working around no-show speakers. One of the presenters came up to me and said
we have the nicest staff. He was impressed with everyone’s friendliness and
smiles. He says he senses everyone at SUHi loves their job and loves being
here!
THANK YOU to Javier a.k.a. “the IT guy” for helping us be techie
ready for all the power points and videos shown on Friday! The speakers were
impressed with the smart boards in the new building!
