For most elementary schools\, this looks like a science fair in which students put together “final drafts” of science investigations on a display board\, or complete investigations that are extensions of the learning that happens every week as part of the FOSS Science Curriculum\, the award-winning curriculum from the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley for which every TK-8 class receives materials kits for hands-on science.  \nAt the middle and high school levels\, projects represent the learning that happens in core math and science classes\, as well as STEM electives\, such as computer science\, engineering\, health and bioscience\, architecture\, and more. As projects become more complex\, many students student more time outside of class finishing their projects.  URL:https://sharkstewards.org/event/stem-fest-oakland/ LOCATION:Oakkand Coliseum\, 7000 S Coliseum Wy\, Oakland\, CA\, 94621\, United States CATEGORIES:Community,Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sharkstewards.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Katya-Demonstrating-Science-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260502T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260502T160000 DTSTAMP:20260421T013044Z CREATED:20260421T013044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260421T013044Z UID:31529-1777719600-1777737600@sharkstewards.org SUMMARY:Berkeley Bay Festival DESCRIPTION:Join the Shark Stewards team with shark activities including shark anatomy and fun at the Shorebird Park Berkeley for the Bay Fest.\n\n \n\nVolunteers welcome!\n\n \nBerkeley Bay Festival\n \n\n \n\nVenue: Shorebird Park\n\n \n\nAddress: 160 University Ave Berkeley CA 94710\n\n \n\nDate: Saturday\, May 2\, 2026 | 11:00am – 4:00pm\n\n \n\nCelebrate the San Francisco Bay at the Berkeley Marina and connect with the community through live music\, food\, and hands-on educational activities.\n\n \n\nJoin us for the Berkeley Bay Festival to enjoy:\n\n \n\n Interactive learning exhibits\n \n Fun activities\n \n Boat rides\n \n Food vendors\n \n Free bike valet\n \n Adventure Playground\n \n Music by the West Grand Brass Band Taylor Mountain Band & Battria Batuki\n\n \n\nThis free family-focused event celebrates the Bay\, its local wildlife\, and the people and agencies dedicated to its protection.

Carmen Koepfer\, a passionate Mexican scientist and storyteller dedicated to ocean conservation. In her talk\, “Closing the Gap for Our Ocean Giants: A Story of Hope from Baja\,” she will take you on a journey into the human heart of one of the world’s greatest marine treasures: the Gulf of California. \nOnce called “the world’s aquarium” by Jacques Cousteau\, the Gulf is facing a silent collapse. Its iconic hammerhead shark populations have plummeted\, and with them\, a way of life for generations of fishermen. But this is not just an ecological story; it’s a deeply human one. It’s about communities caught between tradition and survival\, who tell us\, “there aren’t as many sharks as before.” \nDiscover how some communities have successfully pivoted to ecotourism\, proving that a live shark can be worth more than a dead one. Yet\, learn why this model isn’t a silver bullet. For many remote villages\, the path to sustainability is blocked by isolation\, lack of infrastructure\, and deep economic dependence on fishing. \nIn this talk\, you’ll hear the results of a groundbreaking study that visited 22 communities to listen\, not just research. You’ll meet the guardians of the Gulf—from the 72-year-old fisherman on a 10-hour journey to the families who would lose everything if shark fishing ended—and learn how true conservation must be built on social justice. \nCarmen will unveil a hopeful vision for an inclusive marine corridor from Loreto to Cabo Pulmo—a plan designed not just to protect sharks but to empower people. This is a story of resilience\, innovative solutions like traceable sustainable fisheries\, and the unbreakable link between the health of an ecosystem and the well-being of its human communities. This is more than a presentation; it’s a call to rethink what conservation means. It’s proof that the most effective solutions are those that listen to and lift up the people on the front lines. Come be inspired by a story of hope\, and learn how empowering local guardians is the key to saving our ocean giants.
