Intermittent rain showers couldn’t keep a crowd of 17,340 from attending the 16th annual San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering, held March 2nd, 2024, at Snapdragon Stadium. It was a fantastic day filled with inspiration, education and fun! Students and families from all corners of San Diego County engaged with the innovative spectrum of STEAM in the beautiful Southern California setting, replete with hands-on activities, interactive demonstrations and energizing speakers from the festival-record 180+ exhibitors!
The San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering is the largest event of its kind in Southern California. It’s a collective effort between industry, business leaders, government, community organizations, public outreach centers, schools and school districts, academia and parents. The festival began 16 years ago and primarily focused on science and engineering, intending to provide experiential activities in these fields to diverse populations.
The overwhelming success of the formative years of the festival proved to be a catalyst for what the festival would swiftly evolve into—a comprehensive San Diego County community event that celebrates the diverse cultures, communities and populace of San Diego and works to inspire the curious young minds of our region to become tomorrow’s STEAM leaders.
The San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering is ever-growing and continually responding to and meeting the desires and needs of the community.
