Families

Members of San Diego State University’s Cybersecurity Center for Research and Education (CCRE) will demonstrate the importance of cybersecurity to protect new technologies from hackers and safeguard the systems that power our nation. Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

San Diego State University representatives from science and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch urchins wearing hats, 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 STEAM.

We will be having three different stations that will all connect with each other.

Join Music Notes, a team of former math teachers, for this unforgettable hip hop concert. Music Notes has traveled the country hosting assemblies for over 250,000 students and their videos have gathered over 2,000,000 views online. Their collection of STEAM-themed songs are sure to have attendees dancing and singing along.

Stand back, we're doing science! Discover how *cool* science can be! Join us for this high-energy performance filled with exciting science demos that are "too cool" to try at home!

Children of all ages will discover how hot and cold science can be as they take a journey through the world of Fire & Ice! Experience chemical reactions that will "magically" make things disappear and reveal the secret properties of special gases! Explore the states of matter and watch in amazement as we demonstrate the extraordinary and chilly properties of dry ice!

Robotics Showcase; 3D and CAD Introduction

CCOE and the State of California are partnering with Journeys Map on an interactive pilot to map cyber education, training, certifications and career pathways.
We'll demo the interactive map, showing attendees how they can chart their personal path to a cyber career with the exploration dashboard and zoom in for jobs, education, resources and more!

We will have multiple demonstrations related to the science of astrophysics, including spectroscopy, types of light such as infrared, telescopes to look at the Sun, optics, and the size/scale of objects in the Universe.
