The Bruin Experiment is an on-campus, non-profit that works in Title 1 LAUSD middle schools to inspire scientific curiosity. We ignite kids’ interest in science by providing the means, money, and mentors necessary for our students to create their own science project which they present in our very own science fair hosted at UCLA. We are a club that provides irreplaceable network connections, builds resumes, and a welcoming group of fun-loving people. No matter what major or year, our program is made up of inspiring and caring students like you!
UCLA Cal Teach is now accepting applications for our Winter Quarter 2024 courses!
We offer UCLA science and math majors the opportunity to explore teaching as a career.
Specifically, our quarterly seminars include internships in K-12 schools where you can help out with science and math activities, interact with kids, learn about teaching, and observe different teachers in action.
This is a great opportunity to improve your science and math teaching, communication and outreach skills, regardless of your ultimate career choice.
We are planning to offer the following courses for Winter 2024:
Math 74XP (Elementary School, Math Focus) – 3 units/pass no pass
The seminar portion will meet once per week (in-person) for all four courses. Courses will be associated with a total of 20-24 hours of engagement at our partner schools (~2.5-3.5 hours per week). School visits will be in-person.
Once you have filled out the online application and are accepted into the course, we will send you a PTE (Permission to Enroll) to enroll through MyUCLA. The first round of PTEs should be sent out just prior to the beginning of second pass.
Priority Application Deadline:Wednesday, November 15, 2023. However, we will continue to accept applications through first week of Winter Quarter, until all spots are filled.
The UndocuBruins Research Program guides undocumented AAP students in their junior or senior year to develop research experience and their graduate school goals. Participants undertake a research project under the guidance of a graduate mentor and a faculty mentor. UndocuBruins will also develop their graduate school applications- curriculum vita, draft personal and professional statements, learn how to obtain strong letters of recommendation, etc. Students who are interested in graduate school and who would like to learn about how to conduct academic research are strongly encouraged to apply. We are currently recruiting for the 2023-2024 cohort.

Professor Sucharit Sarkar is inviting you participate in the William Lowel Putnam Competition! This is an annual mathematics competition for regularly enrolled undergraduates in colleges or universities of the United States and Canada who have not yet received a college degree.
The Putnam examination tests originality, technical competence and familiarity with the formal theories embodied in undergraduate mathematics. Questions cut across the bounds of various disciplines, and include self-contained questions that do not fit into any of the usual categories. These self-contained questions can involve elementary concepts from group theory, set theory, graph theory, lattice theory, number theory or cardinal arithmetic. Prizes are awarded to individual participants and institutions.

The UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge (SLAGC) is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications to our Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (URSP) for the 2023–24 academic year! We are seeking undergraduate students who are eager to make a lasting difference in Los Angeles and beyond through their commitment to sustainability.
Founded in 2014, URSP is an intensive and highly competitive interdisciplinary program. It unites undergraduates in their first research experiences in the field of sustainability from a multitude of perspectives including arts, humanities, public policy, science, engineering and more. The program is designed to provide early intervention — exposing students to urban sustainability challenges and interdisciplinary research approaches necessary to overcome these complex problems.
URSP’s mission is to give students experience in solving real-world problems. The work done in this class has a significant influence on both the campus and the wider Los Angeles community.
Eligibility
URSP is open to students across all majors who, in the upcoming academic year, will be:
Second- or third-year students who are eligible to be Scholars in the URSP
Fourth-year or later students who are eligible to be Project Consultants in the URSP
Components
For Scholars, the program has three components:
Placement in a SLAGC faculty member research setting where each student will conduct research under the mentorship of a faculty member and/or senior researchers.
A concurrent course meeting once a week that provides students with a background in urban sustainability, research and communication skills, and professional development.
An interdisciplinary research experience among peers aimed at addressing real urban sustainability challenges in the Los Angeles region (this experience will take place under the guidance of the course instructor, and will be separate from the faculty-mentored research experience).
Project Consultants will receive special leadership training to become peer mentors and group project leaders.
Join an amazing community of students with a similar passion for sustainability! URSP has an ever-broadening alumni network that spans the gamut of disciplines and unites program graduates for years to come as they strive to take their place as the leaders of tomorrow.
Alumni have appreciated the interdisciplinary connections formed through the program, specifically with professors, professionals and their peer URSP scholars. Many are grateful that the connections gained during their participation have been sustained even after the program. Black Bruins, People of Color, Indigenous People, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.
About Us: The Sustainable LA Grand Challenge empowers UCLA faculty, students and staff to work across disciplines in partnership with real world stakeholders to discover, co-develop and implement innovative solutions to transform Los Angeles to the most sustainable megacity by 2050. Our vision is for Los Angeles to be the most livable, equitable, resilient, clean and healthy megacity, and an example for the world.
