![]() NPS What is EcoLogik?The EcoLogik Project is a unique fusion of ecology, nature, and technology. EcoLogik connects the next generation of science stewards to the natural resources and science at Cabrillo National Monument. In collaboration with community organizations such as the San Diego Public Libraries, this multidisciplinary approach fosters a learning platform that makes technology more accessible to students while simultaneously inspiring them to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math). The goal of the EcoLogik Project is to provide educational tools and context to connect 21st-century environmental stewards in meaningful and relevant ways with science.
EcoLogik After SchoolEcoLogik After School is a FREE, 2-week, hands-on, standards-aligned STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) program that is virtually facilitated by Cabrillo National Monument staff. This engaging content incorporates different learning modalities to reach a diverse audience with a breadth of learning abilities. By leveraging resources from TedEd Earth School and Cabrillo National Monument’s curriculum, each day explores a different STEM theme - from biodiversity to plastics - through daily "quests." Students will learn STEM through art and hands-on activities. After School Schedule*
