SUMMARY:Coffee and Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Join co-editors Océane Boulais and Theodora Mautz for a conversation about the community-led zine in situ\, born at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Discover how graduate students\, postdocs\, and staff transform scientific experiences—from coral reef surveys and whale encounters to ice cores and lab life—into visual art\, photography\, poetry\, and multimedia storytelling for the zine. Proceeds from the zine and community support go toward printing costs\, art supplies\, and events that keep collective creative action alive at Scripps\, making in situ as much a grassroots organizing effort as a publication. \nOcéane and Theodora will share the evolution of in situ\, from its inaugural Seas of Change issue to its current Countercurrents volume\, and explore how creative expression can complement scientific inquiry\, build community across disciplines\, and offer new ways of understanding our oceans. Stay for the end of the presentation\, where a surprise instrument invites you to play the ocean’s frequencies yourself! \nThe talk will take place at Mingei International Museum. \nTheodora Mautz is a PhD candidate in the Marine Biology program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She currently researches cephalopod reproduction. \nOcéane Boulais is a PhD candidate in the Applied Ocean Science program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. As an ecoacoustician\, Océane listens to the ocean as a language of texture\, color\, and rhythm and then employs instruments to broadcast sound from healthy coral reefs into restoration reef sites\, drawing coral and fish larvae home by sound via “acoustic enrichment”.

SUMMARY:Pumpkin Chunkin'
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a day of engineering\, coding\, creativity\, and flying pumpkins! Pumpkin Chunkin’ is returning to the San Diego Air & Space Museum on October 10\, from 10 am to 1 pm bringing hands-on STEM challenges and plenty of Halloween fun for kids and families. \nThis year\, we’re excited to welcome a local high school robotics team\, who will show visitors some of their amazing robot creations and demonstrate what goes into designing\, building\, and coding a competition robot. Young engineers can then try their own hand at solving Halloween-themed challenges throughout the museum. \nActivities will include: \n\nBuild a Catapult: Design and construct a catapult\, then see how far you can launch a candy pumpkin!\nPumpkin Parachutes: Create a parachute designed to help a pumpkin make a safe landing.\n3D Pen Spider Webs: Experiment with 3D pens to create creepy-crawly spider webs.\nCode a Mouse: Program a robotic mouse to navigate its way through a maze.\nCreate a Monster: Use if-then statements to design a monster that reacts to different situations.\n\nAnd\, of course\, the highlight of Pumpkin Chunkin’ is the moment everyone waits for the PUMPKIN DROP! Watch as pumpkins take flight in a spectacular finale that combines a little Halloween fun with a lot of physics and engineering. \nThere will be one small difference this year: the museum is currently covered in scaffolding as part of ongoing work on the building. So a new and exciting pumpkin platform will be used. \nHalloween Fun for Everyone\nPumpkin Chunkin’ is included with museum admission\, and October is Kids Free Month at the San Diego Air & Space Museum! During October\, up to two children per one paid adult admission can visit the museum for free. \nYouth groups are welcome\, too! Groups of 10–25 youth and their chaperones can attend for free with advance registration. To preregister your group\, email education@sdasm.org. \nCostumes are welcome! Come dressed as your favorite astronaut\, scientist\, robot\, monster\, or anything else you can imagine. \nJoin us for Pumpkin Chunkin’ and discover that some of the best Halloween fun comes with a little engineering mixed in!
