STEAM helps improve student's emotional intelligence and social skills. Children learn how to work with others, and become more socially adaptable. As a result, they will be able to deal with various types of personality and cultural background. San Diego Public Libraries are offering free STEAM courses. My own child has participated in STEAM workshops at San Diego Public Libraries, and truly enjoyed this fun learning experience!

Koala STEAM Workshop
September 7th, 2024 2:30-4 PM Mission Hills Knox Library 215 West Washington Street
Koalas are not bears, but marsupials, and are an endangered species. Fred Bercovitch will discuss how climate change is impacting their behavior and ecology.
Fred Bercovitch received his B.A. (University of California, Berkeley), M.A. (Arizona State University), and Ph.D. (University of California, Los Angeles) in Biological Anthropology, specializing in studies of primates. He spent 2.5 years living in Kenya conducting research on the sex life of baboons for his Ph.D. Since then he has studied koalas, African elephants, rhesus monkeys, and giraffes in the wild, as well as California condors, Nile lechwe, and cheetahs while working for the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. He has published over 150 scientific articles on topics as diverse as behavior, ecology, genetics, physiology, development, endocrinology, animal welfare, evolution, and conservation.
