Educational outreach for our charter school, which is a very large independent study public charter school program for the state of California. We will invite one of our San Diego science vendors to host a hands-on STEM activity, like one of these: : https://sciencing.com/test-tube-science-experiments-kids-12051606.html https://corporate.target.com/article/2012/02/easy-science-experiments-for-kids-by-the-kitchen-p https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/blog/2013/02/04/test-tube-valentines/

Assets of the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program are created into models and projected on our Holographic video display. NASA’s SCaN Program sponsors the exhibit to communicate the message of “Decade of Light” in an innovative, animated way. Content includes an animation of the purpose, functionality and design of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) 13 created by one of our Program’s former summer interns.

*We have 2 Barobo Kits (computer operated robots) that people can try out, and we have kits they can replicate. *We also have a Mitosis Kit, and attendees can learn about and identify the stages. *We have different games about perception, memory, etc., that we can conduct. *We will have participants build a bridge using supplies such as craft sticks or blocks, etc. (All of these are activities for both children and adults.)

We offer a hands-on STEAM-based program to K-8th grades. We believe that early nurturing of children’s natural curiosity and validation of their inherent desire to explore the world around them is one of the keys to igniting the sparks of creativity and a life long love for learning. We will be offering some hands-on activities for engineering that include rocket launchers and mini-catapults.
