Engineering

San Diego’s Premier Do-It-Yourself Workshop is hosting its semi-annual Open House on Saturday, March 9th! Join us from 2-6PM for a showcase of a variety of Maker projects all under one roof, from furniture to jewelry, laser cutting to wood turning, and from youth STEM programs to engineering prototypes. Enjoy Tools, Classes and Community. Free admission and open to the public!

How can we grow flowers that change color, produce microbes that make perfumes, or build organs from scratch? In this Library NExT workshop, students will explore synthetic biology, the intersection of biology and engineering. They will find out how DNA can be changed to alter the way biological systems work. Students will also learn about bioprinting – using 3D printing to make functional body parts – and try out this technology as they create models and art pieces to take home. Geared for Middle School ages.

Join San Diego Children's Discovery Museum on a storybook adventure and help solve an engineering problem.

These 30 minute workshops are designed for children ages 3 and up to experience hands-on STREAM activities inspired by classic stories.
Price of Storybook Engineering Workshops are included with Museum admission. Two workshop times: 2:00pm and 3:00pm. Workshop seating is first come, first served. As workshops tend to fill up quickly, please arrive early to secure your spot.
