STEAM Week took place April 24th through May 2nd, 2021 - nine days of fun and learning held in partnership with Generation STEAM! The 2021 San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering was fully virtual, with live performances “on stage,” pre-recorded educational videos from local STEAM companies, live chats with scientists and engineers, and more!
Don’t worry if you missed the event – the videos will be up year-round.
These are just a few of our favorites from this year’s STEAM Week.
