Designed by faculty and staff from all six CSUDH colleges, Discover Dominguez Hills is an interactive day for the community to explore the talent and innovation taking place on campus. The event will feature hands-on games, demonstrations, and interactive displays, as well as dance, theatre, and music performances.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the most recent faculty research taking place at CSUDH, such as brain wave scans to determine the impact of technology on brain function. Other demonstrations will showcase technological advances in prosthetic and orthotic design with 3D printers, scanning technology, and biomechatronics. Visitors can also explore CSUDH’s Occupational Therapy program, which works to address such issues as homelessness, pediatric sensory integration, and stroke survivor rehabilitation.

Younger family members will enjoy climbing onboard a state-of-the art ambulance that will serve as a working laboratory for CSUDH students to demonstrate real-world applications taught in the new Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program. They will also laser-cut their own desktop rockets and experience the latest 3D scanning technology in the university’s fleet of five mobile fabrication laboratories (Fab Labs), which brings the latest in science and technology education directly to K-12 schools in L.A. County.

Campus tours will also be offered throughout the day to the university’s nursing Health Assessment Skills Laboratory, the University Art Gallery, and to the locations of innovative environmental projects undertaken by CSUDH’s Office of Sustainability.

The University Library’s Gerth Archive and Special Collections will offer a guided tour of digital collections that include images, videos, and other artifacts that have been archived through the CSU Japanese American Digitization Project.
