Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.
San Diego County Credit Union
20x10 space, a pop-up canopy and our inflatable SDCCU cash cube. We feature our iSnap photo booth so attendees can take a picture with fun props and the SD Festival of Science & Engineering logo. We promote financial services and information at our outdoor display counter and feature our interactive credit union/financial literacy trivia question board. We will give away promo giveaways to trivia winners.

We would like to showcase some of the CaSGC sponsored activities within UCSD, including, but no limited to, Near Space Ballooning and Arduino and Micro-Controllers. We will be displaying posters of aerial photography taken from the balloons as well as explanations of the science behind Near Space Ballooning. We will also have Arduino displays which are often used as sensors for climatic data in the payload.
