HES Candid Night: Normalizing Failures Workshop
Wednesday, April 21st from 6:00 - 6:45pm
In the past, we've held an event called "Candid Night" where members talk about how HES is currently supporting its members, and how we can do better. However, we have historically used this time to share our personal experiences at the university to think of how we can collectively support each other.

Please join us this WEDNESDAY as we'll be having an open discussion about what it means to normalize failure at Cal. This is a great space to share your experiences and receive support! We hope to see you there <3 We will be raffling off gift cards to members who show up!!!!

HES Garden

We are developing the HES student-run campus rooftop garden that intersects urban agriculture practices with technological systems (and other engineering/design aspects). The aim is to educate and provide HES active members with research and hands-on experiences (STEM and non-STEM) in team-oriented projects (with safety precautions). Also, one of the main goals is to increase accessibility and production of healthy foods. If interested, contact hestechgarden@gmail.com or aibarra20@berkeley.edu !!
