Find Your Inner Einstein at SBCC Family Science Discovery Day | School Zone

Community members of all ages can do everything from star-gaze to pet live lizards at Santa Barbara City College’s Science Discovery Day, 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 8, on SBCC’s East Cliff Campus. 

Presented by the SBCC STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Transfer Program, Science Discovery Day is a free family event, created by SBCC students and faculty to showcase the wonders of the world, with interactive displays and hands-on activities for the whole family.

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 for stargazers to see sun spots and other phenomena, while learning what they are and why.

Visitors can meet a host of creatures while wandering through biology classrooms, and from there walk over to the chemistry lab to conduct fun experiments. Math students will teach visitors how to recognize patterns in order to make predictions.

The High-tech Industry Pavilion, 1-3 p.m. in the Cafeteria, will offer hands-on demonstrations from local high-tech companies.

“The purpose of Science Discovery Day is to let people experience science, math and technology, not just as courses of serious study but as something fun and fascinating that permeates all aspects of life,” said Virginia Estrella, STEM Transfer Program coordinator.
