San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering March 17, 2012

The San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering (formerly known as the San Diego Science Festival) is returning this March to “excite your mind.”

Taking place March 17-24, the Festival is the largest celebration of science and engineering in the Southwest, with more than 35 events featuring interactive demonstrations, hands-on activities and exciting speakers—including skateboard icon Tony Hawk and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs.

The weeklong celebration culminates in the March 24 EXPO DAY at PETCO Park, a free event with more than 100 activity booths, performances by “Sid the Science Kid,” and opportunities to interview scientists and engineers.
