    The Young Scientists Club is a science enrichment program for children in grades 1-6 held at Carmel Creek elementary. During the monthly club meetings, students and their parents participate in hands-on interactive activities that demonstrate key scientific concepts. The club is run by Ms. Tiffany Farnsworth (STREAM teacher at Carmel Creek) and Dr. Elena Koslover (physics professor at UCSD), with the aid of graduate students and postdocs from the UCSD physics department. It is funded as an outreach activity through a grant from the National Science Foundation.

  • Cosmic Tours @ Magnolia Science Academy

    Cosmic Tours @ Magnolia Science Academy

    May 25, 2022
    Magnolia Science Academy, 6525 Estrella Ave, San Diego, CA 92120, USA

    Cosmic Tours is an integrated education and outreach program to bring the Universe to you! The UCSD OIR lab maintains and facilitates the use of the portable planetarium for public shows for K-12 schools and other outreach events, as well as undergraduate curricula. A planetarium serves as a fantastic facility for interactive scientific visualization. Portable planetaria make use of an inflatable dome that includes an advanced projector. Our team currently offers a traditional astronomical experience of the night sky and offer pre-arranged visualization programs and full dome movies that are developed for children and adults.
