The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering will blast off with Expo Day at Petco Park today, 10 am to 5 pm. Expo Day is the Festival’s signature event, where more than 130 local organizations provide interactive exhibits and activities to budding scientists
The learning dressed up to have fun continues with Festival Week (March 2-10) — eight days of learning, interaction and behind-the-scenes opportunities for science lovers of all ages. Attendees are stimulated to follow their passion for STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics education.
This is a good time, then, to share some intelligent STEM humor.
