FREE VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS
Free 2-hour virtual STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) workshops will be offered twice a month, beginning 9/27 in partnership with EcoLogik!
🔊 🐳 9/27 & 9/29: Noise Pollution - Pollution comes in many forms, including sound! And like all types of pollution, it can have a negative effect on humans and wildlife, such as whales and dolphins! Learn more about how it affects these ocean creatures, and how YOU can help prevent it.
💀🧟♀️ 10/18 & 10/20: Spooky Creatures - Take a look at the ocean’s spookiest species for this special October edition of our marine organisms workshop! You get to meet the ocean's skeletons, zombies, witches, ghosts and devils!
🌿 🦦 11/17 & 11/18: Kelp Forests - Sometimes called “nature’s nursery”, kelp forests are a biodiverse region that’s essential for many species’ lifecycle. Learn why Cabrillo’s kelp forest is a marine protected area and the organisms that inhabit it!
🐠 🕸️ 12/7 & 12/8: Food Webs - Every species has an essential part to play in nature. Explore some local food webs, and find out why biodiversity matters.
The 2 below will go in rotation (in Feb) instead of “Spooky Creatures”.
🦀 🦈 Marine Organisms - The Oceans provide clean air and nutrients to people and other species around the globe. Discover some amazing local species and the significant roles that they play.
🐙 🪱 Deep Sea Organisms - The deep sea is filled with fantastic beasts, but did you know it’s also home to coral reefs and organisms that use poisonous chemicals for energy instead of the sun? Join us to learn more about this fascinating ecosystem.

Interdisciplinarity
Traditional approaches to defining academic subjects or disciplines often ignore the productive intersections across fields of study.
Our research-informed programs blend the informational, theoretical, and practical approaches and knowledges from multiple fields of study to allow learners to customize their educational pathways.
Student-Centered Curricula
Our highly interactive lessons highlight and encourage the self-determination of each learner.
By taking charge of their educational interests and pursuits, learners gain the necessary motivations and skills needed to succeed in college classrooms, community-based initiatives, and career trajectories.
By offering interactive and interdisciplinary courses, our lessons, activities, learning outcomes, and key objectives are designed to address different learning styles and reflect the multiple intelligences that learners hold.
Project-Based Learning
Our courses enable learners to: identify challenging problems facing their fields of study and communities; develop and practice sustained modes of inquiry to research and address these challenges and questions; center their voices and choices to ensure that their educational endeavors authentically align with their goals and values; reflect on their learning progress; critique and revise their work; and create public-facing projects and publications to build their portfolios and enrich their communities.
The EcoLogik Project is a unique fusion of ecology, nature, and technology; EcoLogik connects the next generation of science stewards to the natural resources and science at Cabrillo National Monument. In collaboration with the San Diego Downtown Library’s Innovation Lab, this multidisciplinary approach fosters a learning platform making technology more accessible to students while inspiring them to choose careers in STEM fields. The goal of the EcoLogik Project is to provide education tools and context empowering the 21st century of park stewards in meaningful and relevant ways with science.
