Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar—Celebrating Women in STEM Edition

What sounds like the beginning of a rather bad joke is actually a fun community program by the Fleet Science Center. During Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®, local scientists will enjoy something we all do: a good conversation in a local bar.

On March 12, we are excited to put a spotlight on all the amazing female scientists and engineers in San Diego as we bring back Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®—Celebrating Women in STEM Edition.

Suds & Science—Under Pressure: How the Body Uses Force to Function

Sometimes, the most interesting discussions occur over a beer or a glass of your favorite vino. (Bonus points if you can remember what was said the next morning!) That’s the concept behind Suds & Science, a monthly event that brings scientists face-to-face with the general public in a neighborhood bar. Each session kicks off with a short and enlightening presentation, after which the floor is open for discussion between the audience and the speaker.

Women in STEM

 

Postponed

With many of our partner companies issuing new policies around forgoing events, we have made the difficult decision to POSTPONE the Women in STEM event, originally scheduled for March 10th, 2020.

We do intend to host this event in the future, likely in Fall 2020. We invite you to join us then! We will be sure to let each of you know all details for the rescheduled event as soon as we have them.

Women in STEM

Join us on International Women’s Day to celebrate Women in STEM! Middle school, high school and college level attendees are invited to engage with and be motivated by a host of women who have moved the needle in STEM.

TritonCubed at UCSD

Visitors will be able to get a glimpse of the process that goes behind designing a CubeSat by building their own. They will be provided with various wood, foam, or 3D printed pieces that mock a CubeSat: walls that can join together, solar panels, radio, batteries, and other sensors. Their assembly will then be put to the test by strapping it onto a rotating wheel and a shake table. If their creation passes the tests, then they're on their way to developing real CubeSats!

San Diego County Credit Union

Stop by SDCCU’s booth, which will feature a fun game of finance trivia for kids with an opportunity for their parents to complete an entry form for a chance to win up to $500 in the SDCCU Cash Cube, a walk-in container where money flies through the air. Two winners will be randomly pulled from the completed entries and have the opportunity to spend 30 seconds in the SDCCU Cash Cube.
