clubs, action, and affinity groups

  • Makers' Club

    Makers Club is a group of College Prep students with a passion for creativity, design, innovation, and creation. We aim to build a community of College Prep makers, sharing the joy we find in making while expanding access to the xLab's tools. No experience is necessary to join the club or attend any of the events we hold.
  • Club de mathématiques

    Math Club is where you cultivate your passion for mathematics! Throughout the year, we hold fun presentations, interactive activities, and participate in a slew of competitions. While some events emphasize speed, others focus more on creative thinking and collaboration, aspects that hold greater value to us than any form of competitive success. In the end, we hope to help you find laughter endlessly in the math we experience in our daily lives—the number plates on cars, the sinusoidal waves of sound, the structural designs of modern museums. Be there or be square.
  • Robotics Club

    The Robotics Club is all about teamwork, innovation, and problem-solving! Our members will design, build, and program robots while learning real-world engineering skills in a fun, hands-on environment. While we hope to compete in regional and national robotics competitions in the future, our main focus is learning, experimenting, and growing together as a team. Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, there’s a place for you to explore robotics, spark creativity, and take on exciting challenges.
  • Olympiade des sciences

    Science Olympiad is a STEM organization where students prepare for and compete in science competitions throughout Northern California during the academic school year. Competition events range from engineering towers to studying rock formations in the Sierras. Science Olympiad is a fun, engaging way to explore fields of science with other classmates.
  • Space and Rockets Club

    Space and Rockets Club is CPS's very own rocketry team, a place for people with interests ranging from mathematics to aeronautical engineering to simply building fun things that fly. We aim to foster a welcoming, collaborative environment where no experience is required to join and all can find their niche in the team.
  • Women in Medicine

    Women in Medicine (WIM) is a club created to spread knowledge and appreciation for women in the medical field. Our mission is to empower and support women at CPS who are interested in medicine through mentorship, advocacy, and exposure. By fostering an inclusive environment, we hope to inspire and encourage CPS students to learn more about opportunities for women in medicine, highlighting the importance of feminism in the medical field. We hope to create a foundation of support that will carry young women through medical school, residency, and throughout their careers as doctors.
