"Pathways to Tomorrow' is the theme of the 2009 Grossmont College Science Festival. "Science is infused in everything we do, everyday," said Jim Papageorge, a Grossmont College professor and event manager. "Our goal with this two-day Festival is to inspire the next generation of leaders in science. We want to show both boys and girls that science, math and technology are cool, hip, interesting and fun. This will be a terrific opportunity to show school-age children how to build a pathway so they can be part of the scientific future."
