Your days begin with gathering on campus and signing in to your respective program tracks. From there, you head to your respective lab spaces and form an opening circle to frame the day, including a quick social check-in and content-related invitation to learning. Each day, you engage in STEM-related explorations and investigations, sometimes in pairs and sometimes in small groups. You do things such as building and weight testing various types of bridge models or later in the program, designing a structure to withstand the powerful forces of an earthquake. Midday, you take time to eat lunch on campus and enjoy some social downtime with peers in your track as well as other STEM tracks. In afternoons, you continue designing and engineering and applying newly acquired physics concepts like static and dynamic weight to your project. You will also enjoy tours to related labs, exhibits, and sites on and off campus, like the Structures Lab. Some days include graduate students or faculty joining you for Q&A and sharing about cutting-edge research happening on or off campus. Your STEM track content wraps up with a closing circle around 3:30 p.m. After that, you gather together for additional unique career pathway programming in mixed groups. This can include a U.C. Berkeley campus tour, a current student panel and Q&A, and other personal or professional development workshops. Programming concludes at 5 p.m. If you opt for the residential track, you will stay on campus for dinner and evening activities— both involving social and college preparedness—and then sleep in the U.C. Berkeley dorms.
