Members of the Student Leadership Board of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair will perform high interest, safe STEM demonstrations. Backboards from the GSDSEF will be on display and students will answer any questions about participating in the GSDSEF.
The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering, presented by the Illumina Foundation, will be fully virtual this year from April 24-May 2 on lovestemsd.org.
The Live Main Stage event is from 10am-6pm on Tuesday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 28 with fun and interactive STEAM activities, a special Women in STEAM event as well as a COVID-19 conversation for kids and teens.
The purpose of this convening will be to collectively explore the current state of STEM in the region, identify STEM resources/partners and discuss STEM needs in the greater San Diego area. We hope that by bringing important stakeholders together we can host a cohesive conversation about the importance of approaching STEM in San Diego through a multifaceted lens. STEM is much more than education, it is the fastest growing workforce sector, a booming industry in San Diego and provides ample opportunity for upward mobility - especially among for those from underrepresented backgrounds.

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.
BAE Systems will feature an engineering and communication challenge where visitors will test their logical processing skills and work together with BAE Systems engineers to demonstrate principles of human-computer interaction. We will also have a leadership-building pair challenge that reveals the benefits of teamwork and overcoming the different perspectives each person has in order to accomplish one common goal.
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.
