The County of San Diego, Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities, Office of Equitable Communities will provide an interactive STEAM-related activity as part of the Science and Engineering Festival. This activity will be a hand washing demonstration and activity. We are requesting to be set-up near the Live Well bus.
Stop by the Northrop Grumman booth to learn how we are defining possible. We design, develop, build and support some of the world’s most advanced products. Whether it’s making a 200 ton airplane invisible, predicting cyber attacks before they happen or solving the mysteries of the universe. STEM Activities: Slime station and build a propeller powered paper plane to take home.
Promoting visitation to the Midway (San Diego's #1 attraction), overnight and youth programs, etc. Specific hands-on activity TBD.
We will have simple morse-code machines (and can also teach kids how to make one at home from batteries, paper clips, aluminum foil and 5mm light bulbs. We will also feature/explain the contributions of women to wireless communications in WW2 that went vastly unrecognized, namely Grace Hopper and Hedy Lamarr.
Hands-Only CPR education with manikins for students to learn on.
Students will interact and learn about circuits and microcontrollers from our Qualcomm (R) Thinkabit Lab(TM) program, and see how they are used in other IOT and real world devices. We will showcase how these concepts are used in real world technology like the Mars rover.
TBD (I will be emailing Julie and Silvana this info shortly)
The individual or group activity “Evolution Quest: From Cell to Species” is a fun, multi-stage mental and physical exercise: participants create an animal cell using fun props; applying molecular biology concepts learned in real-time, they generate DNA, assemble amino-acids, and make a peptide; using a genetic sequence comparison, they finally decide which species the structure belongs to. Besides knowledge, the award includes a Boz lab souvenir delivered by lab’s lab (certified service dog).
Our booth activity will be the first lesson in our STEAM curriculum. In this lesson, students will build a bmx bike, and receive three NGSS STEM codes, and two math standards.
Children will be able to interact with our real, industry sized robot! They will be able to place cones and cubes anywhere they would like to, and the robot will pick them up and place them elsewhere!
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.
