Welcome to the EcoLogik STEAM Quest! This exciting bi-monthly program is designed to engage, inspire, and challenge participants to solve real-world problems using their skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). Each challenge is an opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and showcase your creative solutions.

We’re honored to announce that we’ve been chosen for the Youth Workforce Grant Program! 🎉This opportunity will allow the EcoLogik Institute to continue our work on diversity, equity, and creating meaningful pathways for young people to succeed in STEM careers. We are grateful to be a part of this initiative that’s transforming lives here in San Diego.

The STEAM Quests, created and designed by Kiana, was a project designed to keep the Ecologik Community engaged and connected. The first quest focused on recycled art, encouraging participants to explore STEAM concepts through the creative use of recycled materials. 

The EcoLogik Institute hosts two free summer camps annually for female and non-binary-identifying youth ages 10-15. During these camps, our campers and apprentices get hands-on experience and mentorship in a wide range of STEAM subjects ranging from Herpetology to Science Communication. Ecologik’s goal is to inspire, mentor, and train the next generation of scientists and conservationists.

Long ago, in May of 2023, Apprentices Lucinda, Calliope, and I began a journey that would change the world (or at least some of San Diego). Under the mentorship of Earyn McGhee from the Los Angeles Zoo, Gabriel Santos from Cosplay for Science, and EcoLogik Executive Director Sam Wynns, we toiled for many moons to craft the story of the Dungeons & Dragons BioBlitz.

Female-identifying youth aged 13-18 are invited to apply to the spring/summer (May - August) Conservation and Environmental Stewardship Apprenticeship Program (CESAP).

Want to contribute to real science? How about learning about something cutting-edge, before anyone else does? The become a peer-reviewer for the scientific journal Frontiers for Young Minds! This special IF/THEN collection will allow you to work with mentors for the peer-review process, and you’ll be credited once the final paper is published!

The EcoLogik Institute is excited to welcome a new member to the team!

ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK? THEN FOLLOW THE ECOLOGIK INSTITUTE’S NEW FACEBOOK ACCOUNT (@ECOLOGIKINSTITUTE), WHERE THE CESAP APPRENTICES WILL PRACTICE THEIR SCIENCE COMMUNICATION SKILLS BY BRINGING YOU COOL ANIMAL FACTS, INTERVIEWS WITH SCIENTISTS, AND SO MUCH MORE.

COME ONE, COME ALL…TO SUMMER CAMP EXHIBITION DAYS!

Campers from this year’s free STEM Summer Experiences for girls will be exhibiting what they learned over two weeks of immersion and exploration at Cabrillo. From San Diego biodiversity to climate change to tracking animals with radio signals, these youth will practice their science communication skills on the public - and you’re invited!
