The Modesto Area Partners in Science (MAPS) lecture series has operated since 1990 to foster science education in our community for youths through adults. Once a month during the academic year, MAPS offers stimulating free science programming, bringing educators and local citizens into contact with scientists and mind-expanding ideas.
All Presentations are FREE and open to the public will be held LIVE in the MJC West Campus Sierra Hall 132 at 7:30 pm (*unless noted). Sign up below to get an email reminders for the next event and subscribe to the GVM YouTube channel.
