On May 10, 2024, Long Beach City College opened its doors to welcome the community to its annual Science Night Event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Science Night event was hosted from 4pm to 8pm featuring LBCC\u2019s Math, Nursing and Science departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with multiple interactive activities held by the various departments, the event made room for a live cadaver demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is definitely something you don’t really hear about or get the chance to do everyday so it was very cool to see especially the reactions and questions you hear from the kids,\u201d said parent at the event, Bobby Barkar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students and families from the surrounding district were invited to take part in the educational experience and its results did not disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s amazing to see all of these kids out here doing all of these activities especially because there are kids who may not know what they want to be when they grow up and I think this sets a great foundation for it,\u201d said another parent at the event, Laroya Haynes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event consisted of multiple free range hands-on projects scattered across the LBCC LAC buildings, B and C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a paint your own \u201ccave painting\u201d hosted by the archaeology department, to an immersive owl fecal matter dissection by the life science department, guests had plenty to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nursing program participated in the event exhibiting its simulation hospital room and teaching students about the different vital signs used to dictate health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LBCC\u2019s engineering department also took part in the event showcasing its 3D printer live at work along with a fully functional 3D printed telescope for event use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like that there’s a lot of people, a lot of kids here being exposed to science,\u201d said nursing student, Licet Romero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it’s a great event that highlights the college and the surrounding community to hopefully recruit future scientists,\u201d said Life Science professor Dan Nigro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
