High Tech Fair enlightens 7–12 grade students to the world of science and the possibilities of a scientific career. The 2017 event will be held January 25-26 at the Balboa Park Activity Center (2145 Park Blvd). A large portion of our revenue goes to funding school bus transportation and substitute teachers to remove barriers to participation by local schools. By volunteering to help us with this event, you allow us to fund more student participation; thank you!

Volunteer shifts are listed in two-hour increments, but we highly encourage volunteers to serve for four-hour shifts if their schedule allows. Note that we will provide meals, snacks, and beverages to volunteers serving four-hour shifts. All volunteers will receive a High Tech Fair t-shirt.

Learning new content information in a new language can be challenging for students who are not native English speakers and who may have gaps in their formal education. This is true for many students who are refugees and immigrants. One-on-one and small group tutoring allows our students to get the extra help and time they need to fully grasp what they are learning during the fast-paced school day and achieve their dreams and goals.

At Capital One/ Junior Achievement Finance Park each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.
