    Overview

    Sally Ride Science Academy offers science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) workshops for students entering the K–12th grade. Students assume the roles of space explorer, marine biologist, computer programmer and more as they immerse themselves in hands-on projects.

    Sally Ride, the first American woman in space and high-profile advocate of diversity in science, helped start a national dialogue about the importance of involving girls and boys of all backgrounds in STEM studies and careers. Today, Sally Ride Science at UC San Diego continues Ride’s educational legacy with a range of innovative STEAM (STEM plus arts) programs. Top-notch STEAM instructors lead these workshops, serving as both teachers and role models making STEAM careers more accessible.

    Our Academy's workshops let students investigate coding, engineering, space science, marine biology and more. This year, students will earn 1.5 pre-college credits for each workshop. 

    Choose from popular returning workshops such as Being Nemo, Creating Digital Art Using Google Drawing, Messy Discoveries, Robotics and Tiny Houses or new ones like CAD and 3D Printing; Disease Detectives: An Introduction to Epidemiology; Meteorites, Crystals & Gems; STEMFaire: Hands on Engineering and more!

    *Workshops are offered in-person, live-online and online.
