Sparking an Interest in Science

Last Wednesday, 2,500 San Diego County middle and high school students arrived at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for the annual Educational Technology Fair, sponsored by the San Diego Science Alliance. The fair, whose mission is to excite students about math and science, presented displays from more than three dozen companies and institutions in fields from aerospace to semiconductors, energy to biotech. For the first time, these displays included an outreach initiative from The Scripps Research Institute.
