Community members will have the chance to do everything from star-gaze to pet lizards when visiting the many interactive displays and hands-on activities at Santa Barbara City College’s Science Discovery Day, Saturday, March 8.
The event will take place 1-4 p.m. on SBCC’s East Cliff Campus.
Presented by the STEM Transfer Program (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Science Discovery Day is a FREE family event, designed by SBCC students and faculty to showcase the wonders of the world. The geology department has constructed a huge sandbox where children, parents and grandparents can create a landscape, carve out rivers and move mountains. Telescopes will be set up so stargazers can see sun spots and other phenomena, while learning what they are and why.
In addition, visitors can meet a host of creatures while wandering through biology classrooms and conduct chemistry experiments. Math students will teach visitors how to recognize patterns in order to make predictions.
The High-tech Industry Pavilion — with hands-on demonstrations from local high-tech companies — is also a big draw, connecting local industry to members of the community, young and old.
