City of STEM officially kicks off with a virtual event streaming LIVE on Youtube on Saturday, October 10, 2020. Dozens of STEM partners across Southern California - from science rock bands, museums, universities to special guest engineers - have come together to produce over 18 hours of streaming content across multiple channels from 10am – 5pm.
