Astronomy

Hands on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences

We will have multiple hands-on demonstrations related to the science of astrophysics, including spectroscopy, types of light such as infrared, telescopes to look at the Sun, optics, and the size/scale of objects in the Universe.

The electromagnetic spectrum will be the star of the show as we use demonstrations to illustrate characteristics of light waves such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. We will present the ways we use light to understand what's going on inside the 150 M K plasmas we produce in our study of nuclear fusion.

San Diego State University representatives from science, health and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch urchins wearing hats, code your own bracelet, build neurons out of pipe cleaners, explore the solar system in virtual reality and more! Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

NASA Eyes - Experience Earth, our solar system, nearby asteroids, the universe, and the spacecraft exploring them with immersive real-time 3D web-based apps for Mac, PC and mobile devices. You can also build a Psyche spacecraft model and learn about NASA's Earth Science program.

Hands on activities in chemistry, physics, geosciences, astronomy, and life sciences. This will include live demonstrations and hands on experiments and activities.

We are currently in development. We will provide an update as soon as we confirm if possible.

The Elementary Institute of Science offers affordable, hands-on STEM education for students in 2nd-8th grade for academic enrichment. We will have a fun, interactive science activity for kids to take home. We will have STEM related items on display, and will also be promoting Spring and Summer Programs.

Hands on physics demonstrations and activities for all ages.

EIS will be partnering with Science Delivered to offer fun, engaging, hands-on activities for children. We will have paper helicopters for children to make and take home. We will have items to demonstrate and represent different STEM fields, such as blocks for engineering, preserved marine specimens, simple chemical reactions, a drone on display, etc.
