We're talking chemistry experiments, physics demos, engineering challenges, biology activities, art demonstrations and so much more. If your kid likes to build, mix, create or explore, this is their kind of day.

Activities are designed for kids ages 5 and up, from elementary through high school, and are led by Río Hondo College students, faculty and community partners who love sharing their passion for STEAM.

Here's what you need to know:

  • When: Saturday, March 7, 2026 · 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
  • Where: Río Hondo College · 3600 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, CA 90601
  • Cost: Absolutely free — free entry, free parking, plus gifts and prizes while supplies last
  • Food: Limited options available for purchase at the Río Cafe

Bring the family, bring the curiosity, and come ready to have a great time. Space for gifts is first-come, first-served, so get here early!

NOTICE
Dear Río Hondo College Community,

Río Hondo College plans to restore student access to Canvas and related systems on Sunday, May 10, around 8 a.m. The College is also working closely with faculty to support flexibility for students regarding assignments and exams during this time.

At this time, no decision has been made to postpone final exams. The College continues to evaluate options and monitor the situation carefully to best support student success.

Sincerely,

Notice of Public Hearings

Dear Río Hondo College Community,

Canvas is currently inaccessible due to an ongoing issue affecting Instructure, the parent company of Canvas. Out of an abundance of caution, access to Canvas has been temporarily suspended while the situation is being addressed.

Students and employees are advised to:

  • Avoid attempting to log into Canvas until further notice.
  • Do NOT download or open any file if prompted after navigating to the Canvas login page.

Río Hondo College is actively monitoring the situation and working closely with Instructure to receive updates and support instructional continuity. We understand the disruption this may cause to our campus community and appreciate your patience and understanding. Additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available.

Sincerely,
Information Technology Services Río Hondo College

Dear Río Hondo College Community,

We are pleased to report that the water main break has been repaired and water service has been fully restored to our main campus.  All in-person classes and on-campus activities will resume as scheduled effective Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 6:00 a.m.  We appreciate the Rio team and our partners at the San Gabriel Valley Water Co. for their tremendous work.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Please address any questions to Campus Police at 562-908-3490.

We look forward to seeing you back on campus!
