San Diego State University hosted Crawford, Hoover, Lincoln, Morse, Patrick Henry, and San Diego High School students for a STEM Exploration Day on their campus.
The high school students rotated through university student led activities including a day in the life of a marine biologist, an egg drop activity, an introduction to STEM Majors and Careers, Life Sciences Alive and more!
Engineering students from Patrick Henry visited the Experimental Theater to learn how the design process is used when creating theater sets and played a financial literacy game to help them understand budgeting needs in the real world. After lunch they participated in interactive physics activities, one involving stacking cups and the other tracking how fast a ball falls, then performing calculations to determine maximum height. The day concluded with a visit to the planetarium to learn about star movement, constellations, and cosmic quandaries.
San Diego Unified students are very thankful of the opportunity provided and look forward to participating in STEM Exploration Day at SDSU in 2020 as well!
