The School of Arts and Sciences (A&S) is proud to host the A&S STEAM Carnival from 1 - 5 pm on Saturday, March 8, 2025 on CSU Channel Islands campus. The STEAM Carnival is open to the public. There is no admission fee for the STEAM Carnival and parking is free.
Over 50 different hands-on STEAM activities will be available for PK-12 students to experience at this event, for example, examining the effect of trajectory and air pressure on the range of a marshmallow shot using an air-powered marshmallow shooter, making your own hair gel or lip gloss, searching for artifacts in a mock archaeological dig, observing the dissection of an eye ball, and making slime.
Families can park for free in Lot A3 on the CSU Channel Islands campus (https://maps.csuci.edu/).
Previously known as the CSUCI Science Carnival, this family-oriented event first started in Fall 2009 with approximately 250 preschool through eighth (PK-8) grade students attending the event. Over 2,700 PK-8 students and their families attended the 2018 Science Carnival. During COVID, a virtual Science Carnival was held in April 2020.
