STEAM Week is being held April 24th through May 2nd, 2021 - nine days of fun and learning held in partnership with Generation STEAM! This year’s San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering is 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 can't attend any live events – the videos will be up year-round.
These are just a few of our favorites from this year’s STEAM Week.
