Earth Science

Host a booth to showcase the work of biotechnology in the Cal State University system. CSUBIOTECH provides grants and awards, organizes the annual CSU Biotechnology Symposium, promotes industry-responsive curricular innovations, and serves as a liaison between the CSU and government, regional and biotechnology industry partners, including philanthropic partners.

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.

We will have an environmental science craft and possibly some table games we use for environmental education purposes!

The Salk Institute will be on hand to share the latest research in our Harnessing Plants Initiative, an endeavor to sequester atmospheric carbon & reduce global temperatures. Attendees to our booth will learn about the power of plants, examine the structures of plant roots, & conduct a seed planting they can take home with them.

Activities will introduce the public to the monitoring that takes place within the reserve including an exhibit of a data logger, a model of a salt marsh for hands on vegetation sampling, a maze describing carbon sequestration, and a salt marsh super heroes interactive for elementary-aged students.

We're Here For Nature - The Nat celebrates 150 years. Hands on 'nature detective' activities - Scat Match, Native or Not?, The "Ologies" and Track Match. We'll play games that inspire the wonder of our local nature her in San Diego.

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.

Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Our booth demonstrates the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discusses the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outlines the ease of production. Our booth includes CAICE researchers who provide demonstrations concerning climate change and atmospheric chemistry. We also partner with Algenesis who demonstrate biodegradable materials that mimic plastics and foams.
