Bringing STEAM to the Fairgrounds

This year the district’s STEAM magnet schools were well represented at the annual STEAM Maker Festival in Del Mar. The festival is a full day event celebrating and exploring science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics through maker projects and competitions. Students from several SDUSD schools participated in the event including Kearny High School, Carson, Franklin, Linda Vista and Montgomery STEAM magnet schools. Exhibitors shared prototypes of their designs and hands-on activities with the public. Some of the designs on display included game prototypes from Franklin, an interactive music board from Montgomery, gliders from Carson, disc spinners from Linda Vista and robotics from Kearny. The event also boasted competitions for makers of all ages including fashion challenges, engineering events and project presentations. The STEAM Maker Festival is held every 1st Saturday in December at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
