The Explore Ballona! STEAM Education Program is an immersive initiative dedicated to inspiring environmental stewardship and the acquisition of STEAM skills in students from throughout Los Angeles County. We bookend our experiential field trips with pre- and post- classroom visits that bolster teachers' lesson plans and make us a strong partner to the LAUSD. We also partner with community-based organizations whose high school-age clients are invited to participate in a program component that culminates with paid internships at the wetlands.
