See germs glow on your hands and how to properly wash them clean! Rub a small amount of a fluorescent gel on your hands to simulate germs when seen under ultra-violet light. Then wash your hands and let the ultra-violet light reveal how well you did!
Bioengineering applications such as genetic engineering and organ modeling.
Play Math! is an interactive space for families to play with shapes, patterns, and puzzles. Participants can look for new ways to fit blocks into a hexagon, create a new object with SOMA blocks, or use a pattern machine to look for the longest path. Specific activities may rotate, but they all have one thing in common - they offer an opportunity to play math!
County of San Diego resources and hand washing activity. Resources will include but not limited to: mental health, environmental health, COVID-19, Live Well San Diego, homelessness, CalFresh, 2-1-1, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, etc.

Join our practicing engineers in hands-on demonstrations of scale model bridges. Test the limits of each model, and discover the secrets of how they work.
Learn how bridges withstand the forces of cars, trucks, trains, wind, earthquakes, and more. See and touch actual bridge materials. Learn how you, too, can become a bridge engineer!
*Mollie is sending Deb description of booth early next week - Marketing approving for me now.
Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program will use a 3-D watershed model to demonstrate how surface water run-of and pollution leads to contamination of our beaches and bays. This impact on our recreational waters can affect our health. Also, we plan on demonstrating the various laboratory processes used for water quality testing in our public health lab, which help identify if the water has microbial pathogens.
We will need 4 to 6 tables.
We will have a mechanical lung on display where participants can learn more about Cystic Fibrosis and what it is doing to the human body. Participants will have the chance to build a set of lungs using a plastic cup and balloons. We will also have DNA origami that participants can build. We will also show DNA extraction of a strawberry all while providing instructions for participants to follow at home.
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.
