The Maritime Alliance says San Diego has one of the largest clusters of technology firms specializing in ocean/hydro applications in the country, thanks to the large U.S. Navy presence in the region and research centers such at UC-San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
A highlight of the weeklong event will be the Blue Tech Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony with keynote speaker, world-renown surf photographer and San Diego native, Aaron Chang.
Montgomery Middle STEAM Magnet students have created artwork for the event that is based on the motif of a message in a bottle. Each image draws upon the theme of “I dream of a world…” and will focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to transform our world. The final pieces will be inserted in glass bottles and serve as the centerpieces of Blue Tech week’s Gala. Kearny High School students have designed the centerpieces.
The 11th Annual Blue Tech Week runs from November 18th through the 22nd.
