UCSD Elementary School, Middle School and High School 2011 Fall Science, Technology, Engineering and Art Workshops

Fall 2011 promises to be a season of fun and learning at the San Diego Supercomputer Center on the campus of the University of California, San Diego and the new UCSD University City Center. We are offering an array of workshops in collaboration with UCSD College Explorations. Fall offerings range from digital art and media to robotics to programming, our new Junior Academy classes for younger students and much more! Workshops are open to students in grades 4-16 but please see each individual workshop description, as some workshops are specific to high school students only.
