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!
Join us for a variety of hands-on K-12 activities including Robotics, Forensic Science, Super STEAM Adventure & Virtual Reality. Also learn about the HOTE 1K Outreach program bringing cost-free STEAM to San Diego kids and the SD STEAM Educators conference.
Interactive, student produced video game demos.
Visit the San Diego Padres booth for an interactive, educational experience that brings baseball science to life. Guests can explore fun questions like “Does a heavier ball travel faster or slower when you throw it?” and learn how physics, technique, and athletic performance come together on the field. Try out our inflatable bullpen to test your throwing skills, grab a small Padres giveaway, and sign up to learn more about our educational tours.
Chemists and biologists use models to design new molecules that eventually become drugs used to treat diseases such as cancer. Think like a scientist with the Immuneering team and build your own 3D molecules using atoms, bonds, and your imagination!
Established in 2004, San Diego Taiko is a group dedicated in building member skills and a diverse performance repertoire. Our mission is to share our passion for taiko with the San Diego community through performances and workshops, and to provide an opportunity for local taiko players to hone their abilities. The show will demonstrate and exhibit Japanese Taiko techniques, rhythm and crowd engagement.
We will have Educators with artifacts that participants can interact with (e.g., touch fur, horn, skulls) and learn about wildlife and conservation. We will also have an activity where participants learn about different conservation actions they can take and commit to, and add to an art piece.
My Green Lab "certified" stickers for kids
Regular stickers too
1-2 of these ideas:
Build a Better Lab- Magnetic or Velcro board where people design a “green lab” by choosing equipment, behaviors, and layouts.
Energy Hog Guessing Game- Show pictures of lab equipment and have people rank them from lowest to highest energy use.
Green Pledge Tree- Kids write or draw one thing they’ll do to help the planet and hang it on a paper tree.
Hands-on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences, and Engineering
STEM activities and demonstrations such as fossils, electricity items, and afterschool tutoring opportunities.
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.
