About
Planets in the universe can have wildly different environments but the laws of physics are the same everywhere. Join us at our first GoPhysGirl event where we will explore physics across Earth and Mars! We will start the day with fun physics demos before we look at natural disasters on Earth and how physics can help us understand and protect communities. Then, we will land on Mars to discover how astrophysics shapes space exploration. By the end of the day, you’ll see that physics governs everything, but curiosity is yours to shape!
This event is part of Go Phys Girl: an exciting, hands-on opportunity for girls* to learn about the world of physics. *All cis and trans girls, genderqueer or non-binary people, and those who identify as other gender minorities are welcome.
For Winter 2026, Geering Up has a variety of high school events being held at UBC on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. From coding creatively to learning about how the brain works, pick an event that calls the most to you! Event descriptions and details can be found here.
If an event is full, we recommend that you join the waitlist. For future event announcements, subscribe to Geering Up's Mailing List.
