Join us: Held at Waterfront Park, this event is free of charge and open to all ages!

Join us for a family movie night, with a splash of learning! Families will have the chance to gather together and watch the newly released “Sing 2” at San Diego’s iconic Waterfront Park. Before the movie starts, attendees will be able to engage with different booths, each with hands-on STEAM activities. The theme of the night is “building community with STEAM.” The first families in attendance will receive a complimentary picnic blanket and ice cream tickets.

Join the Fleet Science Center as they partner with the San Diego Art Institute for a panel discussion about their newest exhibition, Illumination: 21st Century Interactions with Art & Science & Technology. For this exhibition, 26 artists spin research into art to boost public understanding of contemporary issues and explore solutions, both real and imagined. Two artists and scientists will join us to talk about the art and science behind their collaboration.

Speakers:

Sheeana Rae Dowling, Artist

Akiko Surai, Artist

Dr. Olivier George, UCSD
