This is NOT your average science event! The Barrio Logan Science & Art Expo is an inclusive annual event that brings together science, art, and culture. Join the Barrio Logan Association, UC San Diego, and various community partners as we highlight science, art and culture in the world around us and celebrate it through a relevant and cultural lens. Some demonstrations include the science behind lowriders, bikes, skateboards, tortillas, brewing, music and more! For questions, volunteer info or to host a booth, please contact us using the RSVP page.
This special event is catered to K-12 teachers, administrators and educational advocates interested in learning more about nanoscience, resources available to support educators in the classroom and the anticipated impact of nanoscience & technology on the workforce (detailed schedule available on Eventbrite).
1-2 tables manned by 2-4 STEM field Soldiers and 1-2 U.S. Army Recruiters. We will have a hands-on display in the medical, construction, or bomb disposal fields.
Viasat celebrates International Women’s Day!
We’ll be putting the “A” in STEAM by creating a women in STEAM mural with EXPO attendees. Participants who visit the Viasat booth will use their handprints to help create a mural which recognizes the past, present and future of women in STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics).
Enemies armed with quantum computers are coming for your secrets! Can cryptographers shield us from the threat ... before it's too late? Join us for an evening of math fun with local community partner, Wavelength Brewing Co. in downtown Vista Village. Dr. Shahed Sharif from the Department of Mathematics will be discussing, "Thwarting the Quantum Hacker," with a Q&A session to follow. All ages welcome!
This booth will feature mathematics games, folding explorations and fun with circuits.
No kids. All fun. Fleet Night of Science is an after-hours event for chic geeks 21+. You get the Science Center all to yourself (no kids allowed!) to explore exhibits, sip cocktails, enjoy snacks, listen to music and get your geek on with science experiments, clever chats and delightfully nerdy experiences. Your ticket gives you access to the Fleet’s exhibits and the evening’s science-infused fun. Food and beverages are available for purchase, and proceeds support the Fleet’s non-profit mission of realizing a San Diego where everyone is connected to the power of science.
With many of our partner companies issuing new policies around forgoing events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this event.
There are many STEM Week events that will still be happening this week! Be sure to check them out by clicking on our “STEM Week” link in the banner above!
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
It takes true community spirit and engagement to build a successful Festival Week and momentum to support ongoing programs. Our mission is to provide meaningful year-round STEAM experiences for youth and adults alike in San Diego, and throughout the state of CA through our virtual platform.
