The EcoLogik Institute
In collaboration with Traveling Miss T. (@travelingmisst on instagram), The EcoLogik Institute (based out of Cabrillo National Monument) presents Cabrillo National Monument math maps! Travel by coordinate plane to learn about the environment, wildlife, and history of Cabrillo National Monument. Students will also have to opportunity to try their hand at wildlife monitoring with simulated science activities led by real National Park Service biologists!
San Diego State University
San Diego State University representatives from science 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 STEAM.
Fire and ICE
Children of all ages will discover how hot and cold science can be as they take a journey through the world of Fire & Ice! Experience chemical reactions that will "magically" make things disappear and reveal the secret properties of special gases! Explore the states of matter and watch in amazement as we demonstrate the extraordinary and chilly properties of dry ice!
Mad Science of San Diego
MAGNETISM: Kids try to build a bridge using metal objects and strong magnets
CRAZY CATAPULTS: Experiment with everyday physics as you catapult ping pong balls into a target
TREBUCHET MACHINE: Kids get to knock down the cones by launching a tennis ball
ECSTATIC ELECTRICITY: Kids try to make their way through a metal maze without making the buzzer go off
AIR PRESSURE: kids knock down the targets with Airzookers
NASA: Discover tech created for space travel! Test your aim with a laser maze.
San Diego City College
Hands-on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences, and Engineering
San Diego County Office of Education
SDCOE's science outreach programs provide students the opportunity to examine scientific phenomena and principles through innovative, inquiry-based, standards-driven activities. These hands-on activities engage students of all ages on topics such as why a healthy environment is important to sustainable plant production, watershed issues, and how geology tells the planet's story.
Elementary Institute of Science
Fun hands-on STEM experience that may include Chemistry, Biology and Engineering.
Earth Discovery Institute
In discussion, likely a Monarch Butterfly lifecycle activity using pasta!
Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
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.
