Demonstrations on static electricity, optics and lenses, magnetism (jumping metal rings), and momentum. Also using liquid nitrogen to freeze superconductors so that they will levitate over magnets and other instructive demos (maybe make ice cream). Using dry ice and water to form comets. The demos with liquid nitrogen and dry ice will only be made by the exhibitors.
Focusing on a Space theme this year, we will provide visitors with hands on activities that brings learning to life. We love to provide our students with leadership opportunities and this is a wonderful event for the students to shine and to share their love for science and engineering with others! With this in mind, our students will be leading the activities, however teachers will be there for support as well.
We make it our mission to spark imaginative learning! Mad Science is the leading science enrichment provider for children in preschool through 6th grade.
The SDIC BSA STEM Committee and membership committee will have a hands on STEM activity to promote Scouting and our Nova/Supernova awards
TBD. Most likely virtual reality or an interactive game.
Mrs. Kristina H. Watkins leads her 7th grade STEM class from Thrive Public Schools through the Universe with the help of Big History
Project. Students created murals, models and Minecraft manipulations of games synthesizing content. Team Hypernova collaborated to
design, code and build portals to mini Minecraft games that will take players through fun and exciting playable challenges covering 13.8
billion years of time: The Big Bang Theory, Stars, Solar System, Earth and Life!
NDIA Exhibit booth goals are to have students learn about technology needed within DoD from our industry partners and military including Navy Diving Helmets, Robotics, a variety of electronic tools, lights, and lasers. NDIA members talk to the students and parents about careers in STEM and provided helpful information based on their real-world experience. Together we help awaken a greater interest in STEM and STEM education.
Demonstrations of states of matter, including high temperature plasma and low temperature cryogens; eddy current production & magnetism, including a levitating magnet; human powered electricity generation, plus discussions of the physics of nuclear fusion will be presented.
Making matter move is nature's way of mixing it up and allowing chemical, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and gravitational interactions to occur. We'll demonstrate movement due to changes in vacuum conditions, formation of magnetic fields from inductive currents, and volcanic action. We will use a vacuum cannon, electromagnetic can launcher, and a demonstration of the coldest volcano on earth to show how nature mixes it up!
Display of information of our various programs and some sample make and take projects. Slime hands-on make and take activity provided.
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.
