The Fleet Science Center is proud to announce A Celebration of Science, a new public event taking place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fleet in Balboa Park. Originally developed in collaboration with the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of its 75th anniversary, the event will move forward despite the recent termination of two federally funded NSF grants: “STEM in Your Neighborhood” (SiYN), a $3.7 million dollar grant for efforts in Southeastern San Diego, and subsequent $100,000 NSF event grant. A Celebration of Science will feature community partners, hands-on activities, over 100 interactive exhibits, and multiple screenings of the documentary film "Flight of the Butterflies" in the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater. “This is not the news we hoped to share,” said Dr. Mwenda KudumuBiggs, Vice President of Community Service and Engagement at the Fleet Science Center. “But the Fleet and our SiYN grant partners remain committed to working together to connect everyone in our community to the power of science." Due to the termination of funding, the event will not be free, but the Fleet is offering a significantly reduced admission of $5 dollars to ensure broad community access. Internal resources and resilient community partnerships will make this family friendly celebration possible. “For the last 12 years the Fleet has worked with communities from Escondido to San Ysidro, and they all have stories to tell about science and scientists in their neighborhoods,” KudumuBiggs continued. “With funding being cut and scientific research being publicly devalued, these community stories are more important than ever to inspire the next generation of scientists. A Celebration of Science is our way of celebrating those stories and standing strong for the future we believe in.” The Fleet invites you to ignite your curiosity as we experiment, explore and celebrate science together at this inspiring new event.

Truchard Vineyards is a family-owned winery that has been a cornerstone of the Carneros region in Napa Valley for nearly 50 years. Founded by Tony and Jo Ann Truchard, the estate began as a vineyard dedicated to growing exceptional grapes and played a key role in pioneering viticulture in the region. In 1989, the Truchards established their own winery, crafting wines exclusively from their estate-grown fruit—an approach that reflects their deep connection to the land and dedication to quality winemaking. For this special evening, Anthony Truchard, General Manager of Truchard Vineyards, will guide us through a selection of the winery’s exquisite wines, each thoughtfully paired with a 5-course prix fixe dinner created by Executive Chef Matt Sramek. This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to explore the harmony between exceptional food and wine while gaining insight into the passion and craftsmanship behind every bottle.
