At Ecologik we encourage our youth to write blogs about their STEAM experiences and how they have taken over leadership roles in the community. This new blog series features the Nature Access Team and they will be writing about STEAM events/items/people who directly affect their community. 

This blog series will not only give our youth a chance to learn valuable research and writing skills but also help them highlight things they feel passionate about. We hope that through this blog series that our community locally and globally can appreciate how much our youth apprentices and interns care about expanding STEAM education.

Long ago, in May of 2023, Apprentices Lucinda, Calliope, and I began a journey that would change the world (or at least some of San Diego). Under the mentorship of Earyn McGhee from the Los Angeles Zoo, Gabriel Santos from Cosplay for Science, and EcoLogik Executive Director Sam Wynns, we toiled for many moons to craft the story of the Dungeons & Dragons BioBlitz.
