PCC Biology STEM Saturday - Spring 2024

These workshops will be led by PCC faculty and student mentors dedicated to providing you with an enriching experience.

Students will spend the morning packed with interactive experiments and demonstrations led by PCC’s own biology professors and Biology Club. Past activities and topics have included learning how to use a microscope, squid dissections, entomology (learning about insects!) and the physiology of stress. (Note: There may be a repeat activity if you have previously attended PCC’s Biology STEM Saturday.)

This FREE EVENT is for high school students (one parent/guardian per student is welcome to come). There is no cost to attend but space is limited - register early! Register for as many Saturdays as you’d like.

The event begins at 9am and ends at noon. Pasadena City College COVID guidelines will be enforced during the event. Click here for current COVID guidelines.
