Making mini catapults from popsicle sticks as well as robotic coding that kids can try out (Dash & Dot as well as Sphero)
We will provide information about water, the channels in the cells of your body and water activities for students which do not require the getting wet. Building water molecules, tattoos, simulated water toss. We will have a scientific poster and 3-d models of the protein Aquaporin.
For this interactive booth, we have a WIND TUNNEL! Participants are invited to make a paper airplane, and then test their design in the wind tunnel. This activity demonstrates the basic principles of aerodynamics. This has been very popular in the past and we're happy to demonstrate it again.
Participants will balance bricks on levers, feel the benefit of using pulleys, and see how inclined planes can decrease work.
Explore how changing chemical conditions can change the consistency of slime.
Informational materials and giveaways related to the City of San Diego's Pure Water San Diego program. Booth visitors can play a "Water You Know" trivia game to win prizes.
Music Notes uses songs and videos to make STEM even more fun and exciting! Our high energy performances allows students to explore future careers in STEM and learn key concepts they can apply in school all while singing and dancing to a catchy tune!
At the booth you will make lungs, see how mucus effects the lungs and see how chemical compounds can help clear mucus from the lungs.
Gizmos & Gadgets Kids Lab will do a hands on show with either building a catapult (or most likely a giant slingshot - angry birds style). We will get kids from the audience to help build it. We will then loft balls into the crowd (soft foam balls) - same concept as last year but with a slingshot. We are also thinking of having another short demo. Will be in touch with Heather to confirm. Last year we did the exploding fizzing rockets. We are wanting a similar wow factor at the end but different
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.
