Today is Equal Pay Day.

It marks how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year.

The gap is even wider for many women, especially women of color—but progress happens when we keep pushing for change.

Equal pay is about recognizing the value of women’s contributions across STEM and making sure opportunity, growth, and compensation move forward together.

Because when women thrive in STEM, everyone benefits!

Join SWE OC at a Project Hail Mary watch party of Project Hail Mary!

Get ready for an awesome night at our in-person Project Hail Mary movie watch party! Join fellow engineers for an evening filled with laughs, great company, and, of course, an epic movie.

BUY YOUR OWN TICKETS, bring your friends, grab some snacks, and dive into the thrilling adventure of Project Hail Mary together. It’s gonna be a blast, so don’t miss out!

SWE OC Is prioritizing the 7 pm IMAX showing of Project Hail Mary at the Regal Irvine Spectrum. SWE OC is NOT purchasing tickets on your behalf. If that showing is sold out, or if you prefer a 4DX, ScreenX, or Standard viewing experience, please select those options or a different time for yourself.

If you haven't already, read the book or listen to the audio book - it's a really great story with lots of engineering!

This movie is rated PG-13.
