2024 Family Science Night activities include science, math, technology, engineering, programming and design. Sponsored by the SLVE Bobcat Club in collaboration with SLVE Staff, Faculty and Parents; SLVMS Students; SLVHS Computer Science Honor Society Students and Faculty.

Thanks to our tri-campus, 2024 Family Science Night will take place across 3 spaces; the SLE Cafeteria, SLVHS Pool and SLVHS CTE/Makerspace. The SLE Cafeteria offers STEM activities that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy as well as a Pupusa Food Truck and Science Camp Scholarship Ice Cream Fundraiser; SLVHS Pool will focus on building and operating an aquatic vehicle as well as creating a STEM Mural and the SLVHS CTE/Makerspace will provide kids of all ages opportunities to play with a Robotic Table, create Electrical Circuits and work with LEGOS, GIANT Jenga and Connect 4 games.
