San Diego Public Library
DIY STEAM Project (TBD)
Primary tabs
EcoVivarium LIVE!
Unique demonstration of reptile animal behaviors.
EcoVivarium
Hands-on interaction with reptiles and arthropods. We invite the public to meet, interact, and explore our relationship with nature through these amazing Ambassador Animals.
San Diego Natural History Museum - The NAT
Become a NAT nature detective and discover the mysteries of the natural world through hands-on interactive games.
Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.
City of San Diego - Public Utilities Department
There will be interactive displays explaining the waste water cycle, and the City's ocean monitoring program. For example, the "down the drain game" teaches children what not to put down "the drain", and on the marine biology side, they can operate an ocean water sampler and examine preserved specimens of marine animals. The goal is to educate people about the waste water treatment process and remind them that what they do at home affects ocean life and the natural environment.
Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve
Wonderful Wetlands! Did you know that wetlands are found worldwide and are among the richest habitats, just as rich as a tropical rainforest? Meet scientists from the Tijuana Estuary, discover wetland critters, dig through a mudflat, see the kind of science wetland biologists do, and discover why wetlands are important for YOU and for wildlife.
San Diego Imperial Council BSA
The SDIC BSA STEM Committee and membership committee will have a hands on STEM activity to promote Scouting and our Nova/Supernova awards
Think Blue San Diego
the think blue booth will contain two 6-7 ft tables (if these can be provided by event coordinator that would be ideal) featuring a variety of giveaways exchanged for participation in a survey/questionnaire. there will also be banners illustrating the storm drain system and an interactive watershed model.
and more...
High Tech High Chula Vista
This booth will focus on ways to extend the core day curriculum by engaging students in learning about identification, behavior, and maintenance of fish species as well as reptiles and amphibians. Students will share about opportunities to participate in feedings, hands-on lab maintenance and set up tanks, and will explain the process of receiving training necessary to earn a pet shop certification. They will also share opportunities to network with scientists and members of the pet industry.
