Educator Specific

LKW STEM FOUNDATION

Welcome to LKW STEM FOUNDATION’s presentation of “Magical Adventures & Illusions in the STEMverse”, a hands-on enrichment experience where science feels like magic and every learner becomes an explorer of curiosity. In this program, students rotate through four interactive “stations” that transform traditional STEM into enchanting, magical adventures. Each rotation invites learners to discover, create, and problem-solve through activities that feel as exciting as they are educational!

San Diego State University

San Diego State University representatives from science and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch live sea animals, code your own bracelet, build neurons out of pipe cleaners, explore the solar system in virtual reality and more! Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

U.S.Naval Academy

Midshipmen mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages, The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM activities including chemistry, electricity, logic, code breaking, and buoyancy.

*Reptiles, Amphibians, and Bugs! Oh Why?* dares you to imagine a world without the creatures we love to hate. What if the slimy, slithering, or stinging ones vanished? Through thrilling live encounters and storytelling, we uncover how these “creepy crawlies” quietly sustain our planet—balancing ecosystems, cleaning the Earth, and shaping life itself. You’ll never look at them the same way again!

Children's Museum of Discovery

The Children’s Museum of Discovery will be bringing our Mobile Children’s Museum, a hands-on, play-based experience that inspires curiosity and creativity through STEM and art exploration. Our setup includes several interactive exhibits designed for kids of all ages to learn through play, including: Wind Tunnel – experiment with flight and watch creations soar. Blue Blocks – design and build large-scale structures. Rigamajig – engineer imaginative creations with oversized wooden pieces.

MilliporeSigma

The Curiosity Cube is a mobile science lab that offers interactive experiments with the goal of increasing access to science education for students aged 8-13. The program includes five Cubes across North America, Europe and Africa, extending our impact beyond the classroom to reach students at schools and families at public events. Local MilliporeSigma employees and partners lead the experiments, allowing students to learn from “real-life” scientists and explore STEM careers.
