Join us for a fun team event with your Teachers and School Staff to re-connect and recharge
Encourage them to work and play together.

Light hearted and experiential activities are the most effective way to ensure engagement and lasting relationships. Using STEAM activities as a backdrop for our unique Teambuilding event, we promote bonding, collaboration and connections, while solving fun challenges that combine scientific, and logical reasoning with creative, imaginative and innovative thinking.

All volunteers who work with youth are invited to attend this role model training session.

Failure is an important part of the the science and engineering process.

While youth (especially girls) fear failure, STEM professionals have and continue to fail many times in their careers. In this workshop, you will learn storytelling skills to help you artfully communicate your experiences with failing – and the lessons learned – to younger audiences.

The Scripps Research Community Symposium is a public event that invites the community — K-12 teachers, high school students, families with children, community college students, and more — to meet our scientists, hear from our graduate students, and interact with our science in fun and engaging ways. This year expect topics in circadian rhythm, covid19, citizen science initiatives and much much more.

This creates challenges in face to face communication, as face masks cover facial expressions that are necessary for easy understanding of emotions. In this pre-recorded video, learn about the different characteristics of facial expressions and how they convey emotions. Then, test your new knowledge by guessing the facial expression on a masked person.

Inviting Girl Scouts Brownies and Juniors - a special workshop just for you to fulfill the requirements for her STEM Career Exploration Badge.

At our workshops, girls use the Engineering Design Process to understand a real-world issue, create a design build around the topic, and will have the opportunity to show off their go-getter ingenuity to their fellow Girl Scouts. Girls are encouraged to wear their sash/vest.

The even will be open to all, so feel free to register even if you are not a Girl Scout.
