Students in the GSDSEF Student Leadership Board will do the following with children 5-15: 1) demonstrate cabbage juice colors with vinegar and ammonia 2) show them how to make their own paper whirly-helicopters 3) Make slime. Students in the 6th grade or higher will be given information about the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair.

We plan on being in the Art Pavilion. We will be creating a booth that relates art to science.

Math Games and Activities

Unmanned Ground Vehicles, undersea Remotely Operated Vehicle, Factory Automation/Home Security Analog Acquisition System, Artificial Intelligence Display and a Cyber Wheel Quiz. We will describe the STEM benefits of these systems as well as the technology and operation.
We will supervise children as they drive our new joystick operated, low-profile Pathfinder Gen 3 vehicles.
WE will also sponsor the Robotics Roundup.

Our rangers will be showing specimens of San Diego’s common animal species. Participants will be able to touch animal pelts, see real taxidermy and learn about local wildlife! Our Animal Ambassador Raptor Team will also be onsite. Learn what these birds of prey look like up close, where they live, what they eat, how they hunt and what survival skills they’ve picked up over time, to help them thrive in San Diego’s diverse environments.

Our booth will have biofacts about local wildlife, information about our programs, an activity about food sorting, and an animal ambassador.

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.

We will illustrate some fundamental science concepts from nuclear fusion research using lively demonstrations in electromagnetism, states of matter (liquid nitrogen), differential pressure, and more. We will encourage yearning to learn and discuss large-scale energy needs and the possibility of fusion on earth as an energy basis.

Lilly will offer a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting grad and middle school. Attendees will walk through different learning stations revolving around the concepts of molecule structure and function, and the effect of their modifications in biological models. Temporary tattoos or other giveaways will be available.
