Let’s Explore Engineering Together!
The host(s) will visually explore a few basic engineering concepts, then share examples of the various ways technology can be applied. The presentation will be interactive with the audience.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Visitors will have the opportunity to construct a lung model and learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. Visitors will also be able to make some fake mucous (aka slime) and learn why this sticky mucous clogs the lungs. Scientists will demonstrate how Cl- channels work and everyone will have the chance at winning their very own Cl- ball.
Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego's booth will host a variety of activities that come from the diverse set of STEM programming we currently offer across our clubhouses. This includes such topics and Nanotechnology, Biology, Physics, Food science, Electronics and Robotics.
Russian School of Mathematics
The Russian School of Mathematics is an award-winning, afterschool math program for K-12 students. We help children of all levels build a solid math foundation and develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Our systematic curriculum and approach is based on the best practices of math schools in Russia and Europe, adapted to the US educational environment. Our dedicated and trained teachers are distinguished
Science of Sport / Padres Science of Baseball
Come check out the Padres Science of Baseball program and see how we bring math and science to life using baseball. You will have the opportunity to test out the Blast Motion software and take some swings to see how fast your bat speed is compared to Major Leaguer Baseball players. You will also be able to interact with activities we offer in the program like trajectory of ball flight, reaction time, fielding percentage, geometric angles of the field and ballpark design.
TechKnowHow, Inc®
Attendees will be presented with various builds/examples of Robotics builds with legos. Students will be able to explore the different builds and use to test different scenarios to see how the build comes to life. Builds are powered with battery packs and move with motors and gears. Students will also be presented with computers that have different programs/projects with include Programming and Coding and also Game Design. Attendees have an opportunity to explore both Lego and computer projects.
Mostly notions about motion!
Motion is found all around the universe and its concepts are applicable in all areas of human endeavor, including within our studies of nuclear fusion science. Scientists will demonstrate motion originating from pressure/vacuum differences, eddy currents from electromagnets, and temperature differences in fluids. Participants will witness the fastest ping pong ball in the park, the highest flying can in the stands, and the coldest volcano in the heat of the day.
Brain Development Imaging Lab at San Diego State University
The Brain Development Imaging Lab at SDSU studies both typical and atypical brain development, with a specific focus on understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). At our booth, visitors will have the opportunity to see images of the brain, learn about brain function, and learn how various brain imaging techniques, including MRI, MEG, and EEG, work and what they reveal about the brain. They will do this through kid friendly activities involving model brains, coloring worksheets, and videos!
Cox Communications
Cox IP Packet Racer - students and families can build, decorate and race their own IP Packet Racer on our custom track against the Cox High Speed Network. This activity engages kids in many aspects of STEAM. Each child will take home their packet racer after engaging in the activity.
San Diego Public Library
This Spring, the San Diego Public Library launches its first annual STEAM program, with hands-on programs at each of its 36 locations. The Catalog of Life @ the
Library effort is part of a Library citizen science initiative. Spring into STEAM: Bug Out! is geared towards students age 9 to12 and will feature free, hands-on science programs in March, April and May. Inspired by Catalog of Life, these programs will include entomology, coding, bioengineering and more.
