Welcome to a new blog series called Community BEE-LEAVES. 

At Ecologik we encourage our youth to write blogs about their STEAM experiences and how they have taken over leadership roles in the community. This new blog series features the Nature Access Team and they will be writing about STEAM events/items/people who directly affect their community. 

This blog series will not only give our youth a chance to learn valuable research and writing skills but also help them highlight things they feel passionate about. We hope that through this blog series that our community locally and globally can appreciate how much our youth apprentices and interns care about expanding STEAM education.

About the Author: This series is overseen by Kaelynn O. the Nature Access Cohort Lead and Program Manager and Ky A.the legal and strategic development intern. 

On Saturday, November 9th, from 10 AM to 12 PM at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park, the EcoLogik Institute is excited to launch its workshop series in collaboration with BEWISE. The STEAM Studio workshop, made possible through funding from Forever Balboa Park, will focus on the art of storytelling through the dynamic medium of COMICS! Participants will delve into various conservation themes related to Balboa Park and receive a customized educational tutorial on comic creation from our esteemed partner, Little Fish Studio.

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.

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.
