Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group

Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Our booth demonstrates the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discusses the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outlines the ease of production. Our booth includes CAICE researchers who provide demonstrations concerning climate change and atmospheric chemistry. We also partner with Algenesis who demonstrate biodegradable materials that mimic plastics and foams.

Our goal for being part of the festival event would be to raise awareness for Padres Pedal the Cause and get additional employees and their families to be part of Team Qualcomm for the 2024 event. Alongside this awareness effort, we would like to do a bicycle related activity to demonstrate angular momentum https://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/bicycle-wheel-gyro to help keep the theme of STEAM related opportunities for the Qkids event.
