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....
