Students and families from San Diego Unified are invited to attend the High Tech Family night at the Balboa Activity on
February 6, 2020 from 5pm-8pm (2145 Park Blvd. San Diego, CA 92101).
The High Tech Fair is a FREE event for both families and students and allows those who are interested in a scientific career the opportunity to speak with representatives from local STEM businesses. These representatives come from a variety of scientific sectors, including:
- Aerospace/Defense
- Biotech
- Energy/Sustainability
- Higher Education
- Environmental Science
- Technology
Family Night allows families with students in grades 7–12 to participate in a number of activities while being exposed to scientific fields they may not have considered before. Budding marine biologists, for example, can speak with representatives from Birch Aquarium and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography about the science they use as part of their daily jobs. So too can burgeoning cyber enthusiasts engage with businesses such as Northrop Grumman and General Atomics to learn how technology and engineering play a part in commercial aviation, military defense, virtual reality and unmanned aircraft.
