Salk Institute Education Outreach
What does real DNA look like? Come work with our volunteer scientists to discover the "stuff of life" shared by every organism on the planet!
Illumina Foundation
Join the Illumina Foundation at Padres Petco Park in the Park as we help visitors to explore the power of genomics. The Illumina Games is a series of traditional games that represent the various parts of genetics including the history of identifying traits, polymerase chain reactions, and even making your own emoji! We will also have airbrush artists featuring science related tattoos for all ages and a Dress Like a Scientist photo booth! Kids and adults of all ages are encouraged to visit!
RoboThink - Robotics and Coding for Children
I would need (3) tables and 4-6 chairs.
I will place 2-Robotics kits (24x12x12) per table, so they can be used by children to build robot projects.
I would need a free space on the floor so the robots can be moved around using wired or wireless controls.
JCS San Diego Academy
Our 1st tent will be an Art Laboratory where people learn about how the atomic elements cycle through the ecosystem. Our second tent will be a giant painting of a mad scientists lab, with a hole cut so that you can enter the painting. Inside the painting is a dance floor where people will be prompted to do chemistry related dances via our atomic disco ball and projected dance lessons as our elemental musics blasts to the rhythm of the expanding universe.
Qualcomm
Two booths, one 10x30 booth showing 3 demos, one 10x20 booth showing the Thinkabit Lab Demo.
Bright Ideas Society Awardee (9th Grade)- Optimus Volucres (bird feeder) - Ramses, Lara, Hayden Loarie, Hunter Mellinger
Display of Engineering process for student led design and build of unique bird feeder, including 3D drawings, 3d printed parts, model revisions, molds, and demonstration of use of plastics with silicon molds.
Viasat
Students will build their own game controller using a Makey Makey and conductive materials and use it to play a Minecraft-inspired racing game. Next, students will have the option to use MIT's Scratch drag-and-drop programming language to code their own version of the game.
BASF
Creating Chemistry with BASF. BASF Kid's Lab Slime Factory. Kids get to make their own slime with the help of BASF scientists.
Point Loma Nazarene University
Our booth will have activities in the areas of physics (magnetism and spectroscopy) and biology (microscopy involving insects and arachnids, as well as teaching devices designed to help young people understand the concept of evolution). The activities will be designed primarily for children in the kindergarten to middle school levels.
Systra IBT
Our practicing bridge engineers will share their knowledge and passion for structural engineering, which draws on math, physics, design, art, materials, and construction. In addition to illustrative exhibits, we provide an engaging hands-on model bridge building activity that is designed to introduce youth of all ages to basic structural engineering concepts. Bridge model kits are used, consisting of paint-mixing sticks, binder clips, chains, S-hooks, and large bottles of water for load testing.
