2019 STEAM Youth and Community Conference

  2. An educational approach that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics and applies them to real world scenarios

Our Vision

Preparing students to become the STEAM literate citizens of tomorrow is a community effort that starts with parents and family members, and extends to include contributions from educators in K-12 schools, community colleges and universities; religious and other community leaders; and members from the local business industry. Engaging the entire community to support this effort is crucial.

Why this conference?

The University of San Diego hosts an annual one-day STEAM Youth and Community Conference to mobilize the community to help provide new pathways for youth to ignite, develop and pursue their STEAM interests, while simultaneously elevating the STEAM literacy, awareness and nurturing potential of the community.

Attendance is free and open to all members of the community (i.e. students, family members, educators, community leaders, etc.) Join us for a day of engaging and inspiring presentations and interactive STEAM workshops from STEAM professionals, leaders, students and educators. Presentations will be given in English and in Spanish. We will have raffles and giveaways and lunch will be provided.
