SPINWIP offers a free, virtual, and immersive experience in cutting-edge physics research and Python coding, taught by Stanford faculty and undergraduates, with a strong focus on supporting women and underrepresented students in STEM.
The Stanford Program for Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Physics (SPINWIP) is a free, three-week virtual summer program designed to engage high-school girls in the captivating world of physics. Participants will delve into cutting-edge research in fields such as quantum physics, quantum computing, astrophysics, and cosmology. A key component of the program involves learning Python coding and applying these skills to physics-based projects. Students will attend dynamic lectures delivered by Stanford professors and researchers, work collaboratively in small groups led by Stanford undergraduates, and participate in college planning and career development workshops. The program aims to foster mentorship relationships with Stanford students and professors, providing a supportive environment for exploring STEM careers.
A typical day involves attending lectures by Stanford professors and researchers, followed by working in small groups led by Stanford undergraduates, and participating in college planning and career development workshops.
This program is ideal for high school girls in 9th through 11th grade who are interested in exploring physics and coding, especially first-generation students and those from underrepresented backgrounds in physics.
