This spring, the EcoLogik team welcomed 16 new youth apprentices, ages 13-18, to the Leadership Academy where they’ll practice the scientific method, contribute to real research, learn how to effectively communicate science, and give back to their national park and their communities beyond. Welcome aboard, ladies! We can’t wait to work with you.

The EcoLogik Institute has received a 2024 grant from the National Park Foundation’s ParkVentures program to support the EcoLogik Leadership Academy.

THE ECOLOGIK INSTITUTE IS HONORED TO HAVE RECEIVED GENEROUS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION’S FIELD SCIENCE PROGRAM.

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

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

San Diego Comic-Con sees lots of superheroes, but are any of them real heroes in real life? Yes! Enter the IF/THEN STEAM Squad, a group of diverse science, technology, engineering, and math professionals who use art to communicate and connect with audiences of all backgrounds and all ages. Check out this new video by EcoLogik Alumna Isabella Miller!

In this short video, youth Conservation and Environmental Stewardship Apprentices teach you about local species at Cabrillo National Monument and challenge you to create a riddle about species you find in your neighborhood. This video is part of Write Out, a collaboration between the National Park Service and National Writing Project.

Started in 2017 at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, California, the EcoLogik Project is a free and unique program that fuses ecology and technology and connects young, underrepresented female explorers and scientists (ages 10-16) to the natural resources and science of America’s National Parks. EcoLogik participants learn and incorporate technological advances and knowledge of the environment to collect natural resource data (community science), create 3D printed biomodels, learn basic coding and programming, and much more!
