The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering is produced by Generation STEAM, Biocom California’s 501c3 nonprofit committed to K-12 science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) education. Our goal at Generation STEAM is to spark a love of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math in K-12 students and expose them to careers in which their unique strengths can be utilized. We want students to know that whatever their skills, interests, and values, there is a place for them in STEAM. | |
