Los Angeles Students Headed to Culver City for S.T.E.A.M. Topia

Los Angeles’ 2nd-8th grade scientists, technologists, engineers, artists and mathematicians will visit Culver City’s STAR Resource Station on Sat. March 9.

On Sat. March 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. kids from all over Los Angeles County are invited to learn, experiment and explore at the STAR Resource Station (10117 Jefferson Blvd, Culver City CA 90232) for a one-of-a-kind festival of the mind focused on the S.T.E.A.M.  – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics -  disciplines.

Elementary and middle school children (2nd-8th grade) will test their engineering abilities by designing the car of the future, discover the math behind wilderness survival skills, explore the technology behind artificial intelligence through Turing tests, and participate in dozes of hands-on workshops.

Students from the STAR LEGO© Robotics program will also compete in the Battle of the Brains, which is an opportunity for students to battle their Mindstorm sumo-bots that they have spent 12 weeks designing, building and programming using mechanical engineering, computer programming, special reasoning, teamwork, aesthetic and functional design and other S.T.E.A.M. based skills.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Maybe more to the point, where does the methane (way more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas)Read More release go from the fracking process, where do the "secret"and other cancer causing chemicals go, and who pays for clean-up costs, increased healthcare costs of residents nearby, possible increased earthquake damage, etc. and where does this oil go (we can't use it--too dirty--so probably China)?

As I understand it, fracking wells "dry up" fairly quickly, which is why pressure to keepRead More drilling so urgent. Where do the jobs go after a year or so? Just a thought....

This non-apology is a joke. Still not going spend money in Culver City, dude.

Steve Rose writes "I'm a responsible car driver and I look for the same from bike riders."Read More However I challenge him to spend his next long drive staying at exactly the posted speed limit. I tried this once driving from the Long Beach Airport to Irvine. And I was astounded at how slow this felt. I also noticed that in all contexts (Freeway, Arterial, and local road) I was the only one doing so. I didn't pass or pace a single other car for the full 30 minutes. So somehow I doubt that although he may be "responsible" driving he is a fully law-abiding driver.

(....continued) Mr. Rose, your heart might have been in the right place, but you asked the wrongRead More questions and alienated bike riders in the process. More important, the approach was simply confrontational and not reflective of the changing perspective (read: progress) of the broader city on bicycle riding nor of the amazing new life blood of the those who are revitalizing the very Culver City you love and have worked so very hard for. Again, I urge you to apologize (not clarify) and perhaps come speak to some bike commuters/riders and join us in making Culver City's road's, less territorial and safer...
