The Fleet Science Center among other partners sponsored High Tech Family Night and the High Tech Fair at the Balboa Park Activity Center in February.
Lincoln High School Students and their families were invited to attend Family Night and were generously provided with transportation and dinner during the event. Families toured the booths and learned about various STEM careers available in San Diego. The students were able to build their own rockets and blast them into the air, build structures, and see demos of ROV’s. San Diego Unified partners such as SDCCU, Northrop Grumman, SDGE, LEAGUE of Amazing Programmers, Qualcomm, UCSD CREATE and Porpoise Robotics provided activities for our students.
Madison High School was one of many San Diego Unified Schools who participated in the High Tech Fair which exposed students in grades 7th-12th to the world of science and the possibilities of a scientific career. Local participating companies provided interactive experiences for the students. The students enjoyed seeing real life applications of what they are learning in their College, Career and Technical Education classrooms and learned about potential internship opportunities.
The students in the Environmental Engineering pathway at Madison were also able to visit the Fleet Science Center to explore many hands on activities. The High Tech Fair was a cooperative effort between business and education and we are very thankful for the support from our partners!
