UCLA students dressed to impress at the banquet.
PSWC is a regional conference that takes place every year. This year, University of California, Irvine hosted the event from Wednesday, April 5th to Saturday, April 8th, and 94 UCLA students attended, which was a record high! This conference involved a set of competitions among 19 schools, including 17 different events ranging from design projects to sports games to scavenger games. Many of us worked countless hours all year in order to prepare their projects for the conference, and the hard work definitely paid off.
