The Boy Scouts of America's STEM committee would like to have a booth featuring the NOVA Awards program which incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The hope is that these awards stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them. http://www.sdicbsa.org/Advancement/STEMNovaProgram.php

Our booth with features scientists, engineers and educators representing NASA's Dawn mission to asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, the exciting New Horizons mission to Pluto, the Juno mission to Jupiter, Earth science, and a team from San Diego's Malin Space Science Systems that provides the amazing images from the Curiosity rover on Mars. We will feature hands-on activities and engaging displays.
