9th annual Biocom Festival of Science kicks off Saturday
Festival organizers have finalized a week of more than 50 special events and presentations, offering entertaining options for local K-12 students and adults 21 and up.
Expo Day will be held Saturday at Petco Park, where hundreds of San Diego area businesses, schools, libraries and museums will present hands on learning activities and experiments to inspire science students of all ages, beginning at 10 a.m.
Additionally, there will be two main stages with free STEM-inspired performances by The Music Notes, Fleet Science Center, Ms. Smarty Plants from the Water Conservation Garden, Ecovivarium, Qualcomm, Mad Science, General Atomics and TEDxKids@ElCajon. This year, attendees will be able to also meet and greet with actors from the new "Power Rangers" reboot before it hits theatres later this month.
Festival Week will be held March 5-12 and feature learning, interaction and behind-the-scenes opportunities for students, adults and families. The festival aims to encourage and engage kids and adults in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and to increase our region's reputation of being a leader in the science industry. Schedule, venues and offerings are subject to change. Visit https://www.lovestemsd.org/festival-week-events-2017 for more information.
