High School

The booth will be hosted by High School Students of Team High Voltage. The primary activity will be the demo of various types of Robots and hands-on experience for participants. They can learn about robotics, play with robots, and learn about the design, programming, and engineering aspects related to these robots.

SAN is proud our commitment to sustainability and community well-being. Attendees can explore airport noise nuances and learn about our Quieter Homes Program, which mitigates sound to enhance life quality in surrounding neighborhoods. We'll also share key sustainability practices that illustrate our dedication to environmental stewardship. Join us to discover how we strive to create a balance between operational efficiency and the well-being of our community.

We will be facilitating a micro pipetting techniques hands-on activity to measure liquids in 100 microliter increments. We will be using water with food coloring, so nothing toxic and easy clean-up. We will be making pipette art and participants will get to take home their bookmark project.

Mechanical Advantage is a FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team and nonprofit that uses robotics to provide STEM learning opportunities to their community.

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.

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.
