Our Origin Story
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!
