Families

We plan to have some signage on the booth to show what NXP does. We will have 1-2 setups for student interaction. We will have an additional interactive activity related to code breaking that students can work on and take hom.

The Water Authority will provide interactive, engaging water education information and activities for kids and families (more info TBD).

The SDMTS will display the benefits of transit to our environment, and how public transportation is getting cleaner with our fleet electrification. We will also be offering general information on how to ride MTS, and how youth can ride public transit for free to school, extra curriculars, and wherever else they need to travel to within San Diego County.

Get ready for an unforgettable summer at Camp Galileo, full of engaging STEAM projects, collaborative design challenges and classic camp fun, like silly skits, face painting and pie throwing. Grounded in the acclaimed Galileo Innovation Approach, our hands-on activities and outdoor games cultivate essential skills—including collaboration, perseverance and creative confidence—that last long after summer ends.

Our booth will showcase our 2025 project displays, swag & a TBC interactive project

The interactive booth will allow attendees to better understand some of the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Programs. Interactive dry ice demonstrations are designed to help attendees better understand some of the chemical hazards faced by our emergency responders on the Hazardous Incident Response Team. Attendees will also be able to learn about the beach water quality monitoring program and the tools available to ensure their safety when entering recreational waters.

San Diego County Library (SDCL) will demonstrate free library services, such as eBooks and audiobooks on apps like Libby, online learning tools, the library events calendar, and more. We will also offer free library card sign-ups as well as STEAM-themed books available for checkout.

With Live Well San Diego

We will have a collection of samples of the mosquito lifecycle to be viewed by microscope or magnifying glasses in order to learn about where mosquitoes come from. We typically try to bring some live samples when they are available. We have a mock back backyard setup to provide examples of places that can hold water and breed mosquitoes. This interactive display helps people understand how to prevent mosquitoes and bites and stay protected from diseases.

ILACSD will provide resources related to environmental education on behalf of the City of San Diego. We'll have information about proper waste sorting and where/how to dispose of different types of items. We will have a game for people to sort items into: recycling, trash, and compost, including tricky items like aerosol cans, plastic wrappers, tissue paper, and sticky notes. Many people thoroughly enjoy playing this game and learning about why each item is disposed of a particular way.

JCVI is at the forefront of genomics, striving to unravel the complexities of the biological world to improve global health. At our booth, explore how plastic accumulates in the food chain—from small fragments in microbes and other tiny organisms to fish and, eventually, us. Learn about how our scientists are tackling the problem of plastic pollution, the power of microbes, and the effect of both on the ocean. Join us for insights at the intersection of genomics and environmental challenges.
