Enemies armed with quantum computers are coming for your secrets! Can cryptographers shield us from the threat ... before it's too late? Join us for an evening of math fun with local community partner, Wavelength Brewing Co. in downtown Vista Village. Dr. Shahed Sharif from the Department of Mathematics will be discussing, "Thwarting the Quantum Hacker," with a Q&A session to follow. All ages welcome!
This booth will feature mathematics games, folding explorations and fun with circuits.
Have you ever seen a brain pulled out of a fly and dissected right in front of you? How does a fish look as an embryo versus as an adult? Come to the Boz Institute’s open house to learn about our projects and programs, and see for yourself how we use worms, fish, and flies to study environmental pollutants’ effects on gene expression in humans.

Lights! Action! ABC 10News is the EXPO DAY TV Media sponsor and will be hosting our 10News Experience green screen where kids can try their hand as a reporter in a “live” studio. See if you have what it takes to report a fire, traffic or weather on camera! Take photos with 10News Anchors and Reporters or talk with producers and photographers about our studio and news team.
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death. More than 350,000 Americans experience a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital each year. Unfortunately, about 90% of cardiac arrest victims die, often because bystanders don’t know how to perform CPR or are afraid of doing it incorrectly. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a person’s chances of survival.
We encourage you to stop by this booth to learn the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR and help save a life!
Art is a powerful tool that can transcend barriers – it can help scientists meet people where they are and tell relatable and impacting stories that move minds. With the Conservation + Comics program, Cabrillo National Monument (National Park Service) provides a distinct experience for youth and families in the greater San Diego area. In our two-part program, participants will be guided by a biologist through a thematic nature exploration of the park, then an art educator will lead the participants in an innovative way to tell scientific stories – through comics!
No kids. All fun. Fleet Night of Science is an after-hours event for chic geeks 21+. You get the Science Center all to yourself (no kids allowed!) to explore exhibits, sip cocktails, enjoy snacks, listen to music and get your geek on with science experiments, clever chats and delightfully nerdy experiences. Your ticket gives you access to the Fleet’s exhibits and the evening’s science-infused fun. Food and beverages are available for purchase, and proceeds support the Fleet’s non-profit mission of realizing a San Diego where everyone is connected to the power of science.
With many of our partner companies issuing new policies around forgoing events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this event.
There are many STEM Week events that will still be happening this week! Be sure to check them out by clicking on our “STEM Week” link in the banner above!
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
Join the Fleet Science Center and the Comic-Con Museum for a sneak peak of the new program series Pop-Culture Science. Pop-Culture Science explores the science behind everything we love about pop-culture, from films, TV shows, comics, books, toys, to fandom and more. Join us on Friday March 13th, for a good Friday the 13th scare, as we watch Get Out. Before the movie, we will hear from Dr.
It takes true community spirit and engagement to build a successful Festival Week and momentum to support ongoing programs. Our mission is to provide meaningful year-round STEAM experiences for youth and adults alike in San Diego, and throughout the state of CA through our virtual platform.
