Our flagship program, ART SCIENCE COMPLEX's "Imaginaria", is a project oriented, process based, thinking and learning platform--a living laboratory of imagination, sanctuary to nurture rampant creativity, to manifest one's own inventions and innovations--via drawing, building, painting, folding, writing, model making, reading, composing...
Our booth will have activities in the areas of physics (magnetism and spectroscopy) and biology (microscopy involving insects and arachnids, as well as teaching devices designed to help young people understand the concept of evolution). The activities will be designed primarily for children in the kindergarten to middle school levels.

Library effort is part of a Library citizen science initiative. Spring into STEAM: Bug Out! is geared towards students age 9 to12 and will feature free, hands-on science programs in March, April and May. Inspired by Catalog of Life, these programs will include entomology, coding, bioengineering and more.
Join us as we explore the biodiversity of San Diego's only National Park!

The Boy Scouts of America's STEM committee would like to have a booth featuring the NOVA Awards program which incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The hope is that these awards stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them.
