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.

On November 3rd, Balboa Park came alive with creativity during the Youth Artist Showcase. I was honored to serve as the Master of Ceremonies and performed with my quartet, Killing Contemporary, which is part of the Mainly Mozart organization. The event also featured an amazing performance by the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet and displayed incredible artwork created by talented young artists.

STEMs, Buds & Blooms is a recurring interview series based on learning about the women in STEM and their lives outside of it. These field notes aim to expand the idea of the woman in stem by spotlighting community & opportunity alongside achievements in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math, and give our readers broader space to imagine their future.
