We have numerous proposals for expected activities (please read the note at the bottom) that will take place during our meetings, such as:

Collaborating with AP Psychology teachers in creating activities, such as lectures, focusing on educating the members about different aspects of the study.

Requesting professionals with careers in psychology, such as therapists, local psychology professors, school social workers, human resource managers, and clinical psychologists, to guest speak about their experiences in the psychology field.

Creating “career panels” where students can learn more about potential opportunities and careers within the field of psychology.

Organizing virtual “field trips” to local laboratories where clinical psychologists are conducting research, to allow more exposure to the research aspect of the field (all “field trips” will be virtual, i.e. zoom meetings, as we acknowledge that physical field trips are not permitted).

Following introductions to different broad topics, allowing members to research and explore areas of interest to create projects and eventually presents a final product of a topic or topics they are passionate about.

Quantum Computing ClubStudent-Run24sj0926@wwprsd.orgSumedha JayaramanThe purpose of this club is to bring awareness to the newly emerging field of Quantum Computing. Many might believe this topic requires extensive knowledge of mathematics and quantum mechanics at the level of a graduate or a postdoctoral. Our club will disprove this preconceived notion by allowing South students to dip their feet into this exciting field. As I had gone through an entire year of Quantum Computing course and found it fascinating, I'm confident that many at South will like and greatly benefit from it. During the first half of the year, we will build our quantum computing knowledge through lectures and group activities on the underlying math of quantum computing (complex numbers + linear algebra) as well as the high efficiency and applications of quantum computers vs classical computers. Throughout this process, we will bring in virtual guest speakers from a variety of fields in quantum computing from companies such as IBM. This will show South students how interdisciplinary the field can be and its various applications in today's world. Fun engaging activities include running real quantum algorithms on IBM's website, Qiskit, which has a free quantum computing simulator for users to explore. After we learn from each other and gain knowledge about the subject during the first half of the year, we will start a research project for club members to explore their interests in quantum computing. We will guide them on research techniques and ways to look for new ideas along the way. Once everyone writes their article on a chosen topic related to quantum computing, the officers will choose the best ones and collaborate with the Journalism club to feature it in the school newspaper: The Pirates Eye.

Village MentorsStudent-RunTvesa SingVillage Mentors is part of a larger organization called Village Book. Our mission is to reimagine education across the globe for communities that may not be as privileged as we are and don’t have as much access to needs we see as just another part of our day to day life. Through making money to build them libraries and bring the basic health needs, advocating for them through social media and GoFundMe’s, and even offering mentoring services to these children that deserve quality education, we plan on making an impact on these kids’ lives. In just the last year, we raised over 3,000 dollars to put towards the mentees; just imagine what we can accomplish this upcoming year!Every other Tuesday, 3-4PM, 700 Area

Women in SportsStudent-RunKate DuguayWe want to change the stigma surrounding female athletics in high school and increase attendance at women’s sporting events! Far too often female sports teams are undermined, invalidated, or sexualized. The idea that female athletes are different needs to change, and we want to start by addressing issues at South!Every other Tuesday, 3-4PM, 700 Area
