San Diego Science Festival (Science Week San Diego): The BioBridge team is pulling together strategic partners from around the San Diego community to showcase San Diego science in an annual Science Festival.

In-School Technology and Media Integration: BioBridge is working with high school students, teachers and undergraduates to infuse media into science classrooms to reflect the relevance of science in their lives.

Science Interest Groups (SIG's): Working with teachers and college mentors, high school students can use BioBridge resources, media, and supplies to continue their growth in science by forming on- or off-campus interest groups.

On-Site Tech Center Development: In order to maintain feasible costs for new lab curriculum and supplies, BioBridge will assist each high school district to set a class in which students can earn lab experience and credit by taking low-cost raw materials and setting up lab-specific items (vs buying ready-made kits)
