We would like to set up a booth featuring a STEM activity, similar to what we offer when we bring students on-site. Activities could include Strawberry DNA extraction, Magnetic Slime, and more. We can tailor the activities to different age groups and ensure they align with the event's theme.
Our booths will include air cannons, candy DNA, art projects, VEX robotics, and bristle bots.
Neurocrine is joining the San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering to help educate the San Diego community on some of the fun things we work on!
We will have 2 fun crafts/activities for family's and kids to take home with them!
We will have information about Neurocrine, opportunities available at the organization, as well as internship program insights!
Projects (tentative): Neuron Key chain & Brain Caps
Students from the Maker Club will have 2 hands on kinetic activities. Participants will walk away with an activity piece.
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.
3 activity stations
Pure Water San Diego is part of the Public Utility Department's project for Potable Reuse. We have a prize wheel and many giveaways including a youth activity booklet.
Our booth will feature hands on STEM activities for all ages! Come on by to learn more about various engineering topics such as circuits, personal robot programming, and learn how to build your own rocket!
This will be a Walk-in-Painting based on Ornithology. It will be an interactive art installation in which audience will learn about birds and then make art about what they learn. Their art will be added into the installation. See examples here: https://rogalskiart.com/walk-in-paintings.html
The Nat will be bringing some animal specimens from our collection and will have some fun nature games that are great for all ages! This will be interactive and great for all ages! The takeaway message will be about the conservation of nature in our region.
It takes true community spirit and engagement to build a successful Festival and create meaningful year-round STEAM experiences for youth and families throughout San Diego.
