Activities
WICSE hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including guest lectures, workshops, and social events.
Current events can be found on our Events Calendar.
Expanding Your Horizons
For the past two years, WICSE members have biannually hosted activities at Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) events. On the left is a photograph of WICSE members volunteering in November 2008 at an EYH event at a San Francisco school. In March 2009, WICSE members organized another EYH activity at Mills College.
From the Expanding Your Horizons website:
Our mission is to encourage young women to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. Through Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Network programs, we provide STEM role models and hands-on activities for middle and high school girls. Our ultimate goal is to motivate girls to become innovative and creative thinkers ready to meet 21st Century challenges.
Big Sister Program
Every year, entering students are offered the opportunity to partner with one or more current grad students who will help them transition into academia at UC Berkeley.
Big Sister representatives are typically available at visit days for prospective students and are great resources for information about the UCB academic culture as well as life in Berkeley and the greater Bay Area. Visit our resources page for a listing of helpful links.

Girls Go Tech
Each year, the Girl Scouts of America's Girls Go Tech program hosts various conferences to teach girl scouts about technical careers. In February 2009, WICSE volunteers hosted a table at the “When I Grow Up . . .” Girls Go Tech Career Exploration 2009. From the Girl Scouts of Northern California website:
Girls Go Tech is a program initiative to empower girls through increased confidence in math, science, technology and engineering.
