American Heart Association
Hands-Only CPR education with manikins for students to learn on.
American Physical Therapy Association
Interactive activities at our booth will include life size, anatomically correct puzzles of the human skeletal and muscular systems for attendees to put together.
High Temperature Fusion is Very Cool!
Two presenters will provide lively demonstrations on states of matter, electricity & magnetism, force & pressure - these are science categories we use in our nuclear fusion research work. The demonstrations could include: liquid nitrogen, magnetic can launcher, Tesla coil, bed-of-nails, steel can differential pressure crush.

UC San Diego Materials Research Science & Engineering Center (MRSEC)
Demonstrations from our materials research science & engineering laboratories, including a mini-spectrometer, demonstration of a silicon photonic crystal as a chemical sensor, silicon lenses that transform your cell phone into a microscope
EcoVivarium
Hands-on interaction with live reptiles and arthropods.
Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Salk scientists & staff will lead attendees through a DNA extraction from the wheat plant. Participants will be able to take home their completed experiment as a souvenir of their scientific learning. Salk scientists & staff with also be on hand to share about the amazing research happening at the Salk Institute & all of our dynamic programs available for youth & the community.
Sweetwater Union High School District
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.
NASA's Space Communications and Navigation Program
TBD - interactive exhibits and make and take activities. Information on the Space Communications and Navigation Summer Internship Program and resources for educators.
U.S. Naval Academy
Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering activities for all ages. The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM topics including chemistry, aerodynamics, electricity, logic, fluid mechanics and
robotics.
