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.

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.

As a leading supplier of security scanning equipment to the Department of Homeland Security and customs organizations around the world, Leidos is proud to open our doors and introduce San Diego’s kids, parents, teachers, industry leaders and community member to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) as part of the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering.

Students will employ their creativity to make wearable electronic textiles that light-up and serve a specific purpose. Students first learn how batteries generate electricity, then learn about conductors and insulators to guide them toward an understanding of open and closed circuits. They will build simple circuits in their design guides using conductive copper tape and LEDs. Finally, they will create a wearable light-up textile using copper tape and felt.

Join us at Petco Park on Saturday, March 7th for a day full of FREE, FUN SCIENCE! From 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. the park will be packed with over 130 different hands-on activities showcasing STEM for participants of all ages!
