SYSTRA IBT

Test your knowledge of bridges as our engineers demonstrate the concepts of bridge engineering using scale models built with K'NEX blocks. Visitors will discover how bridges are designed and built and learn how they, too, can become bridge engineers.

TaylorMade Golf Company

Team TaylorMade engineers will demonstrate the mechanics involved behind some of the greatest innovations in golf.

Illumina

We will have a series of activities realted to DNA. We would like to be in the Park in the Park area with most likely the same set up. This year, I thought it could be an interesting idea to bring in some of our partners to have space in our area. I will follow-up as we get more information.

KGTV ABC 10News

San Diego Miramar College

Pipette Art: Participants will learn how to use the micro pipette to measure liquids in 50ul to 100ul increments, and learn the importance of this technique in science labs. Multiple liquid samples will be colored by food coloring. They can either measure unto laminated plates or filter paper to make artful patterns which they could take home as bookmarks.

Jacobs Institute for Innovation in Education

We will have an interactive activity around origami to introduce families to the intersection of STEAM and paper folding, and we will also be bringing our floor loom which anyone can use to learn how to weave! We do what we call 'wabi sabi' weaving which means beauty in imperfection- it is a very fun and engaging activity and we have all of the supplies.

Center for Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry

How do molecules get made? The CSOE has scientists at Scripps and UCSD who are working on using electrochemistry/battery technology to make molecules. We'd like to demonstrate this cutting-edge technology using color-changing reactions in IKA Electrosyn instruments and discuss the work we are doing at the center. We'll have volunteer scientists staffing the booth, and stickers and temporary tattoos to give away.
