Outreach

The annual Science Outreach Catalyst Kits, or SOCKs, contain exploratory physics and science activities specifically designed for SPS Chapters and collegiate physics departments to use in outreach presentations to local elementary, middle and high school students. The kits are created and assembled annually by the SPS national interns and national office staff.


Alumni Engagement Program

The SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma Alumni Engagement Program provides an opportunity for all SPS members to connect with the supportive community of SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma Alumni in a number of ways! You can connect with alumni for professional development opportunities, to arrange speaking engagements at your next chapter or zone meeting, to shadow someone in a field of interest, to learn more about a career path, and so much more!
