BioJam 2022 Camp Schedule
BioJam consists of a 3-week summer camp themed around climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. The 2022 camp is in partnership with the Migrant Education Program, Region XVI.
Our over 30 teen participants in the 2022 camp are migrant students enrolled in the Migrant Education program from Salinas and South Monterey County, CA.
Our camp was taught across several locations, including Everett Alvarez High School (Salinas, CA), Digital NEST (Salinas, CA), Johnson Canyon Landfill (Gonzales, CA), Natividad Creek Park (Salinas, CA), and Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA).
Camp co-learning topics included discussing ancestral and Indigenous land stewardship practices, exploring the idea of a circular economy, trying sustainable foods, developing curiosity using paper microscopes (Foldscopes), creating biocircuits, learning about waste practices, reading about environmental justice activists, and building aquaponics and hydroponics systems. Camp culminated in community engagement projects were teens teach what they learned in interactive workshops at Stanford University (following an overnight trip) and to elementary school migrant students in Salinas, CA.
Our curriculum was developed by Melissa Ortiz, Leticia Hernandez, Corinne Takara, Robin Putney-Mendenhall, Pagé Goddard, Daniel Sumano, and Callie Chappell. Camp was taught by Melissa Ortiz, Leticia Hernandez, Lorenzo Barranco, Anthony Zelensky, Paloma Vazquez, Pagé Goddard, Callie Chappell, and Caroline Daws.
