EXPO DAY
River Bugs Are Cool
Learn how bugs can unlock secrets about the San Diego River’s health! Work with scientists to collect a sample and examine real living aquatic bugs, play games, and take home an activity book. Supplies will be provided, but please wear clothes that can get a little dirty. The activity takes about one hour, and we will have three rotations (all with the same activities). Rotations begin on the hour at 10:00, 11:00 and noon.
County of San Diego's Department of Environmental Health & Quality - Hazardous Materials Division & Beach and Bay Program
The Department of Environmental Health & Quality will be conducting an interactive exercise where attendees can hold a CO2 bubble. Additionally, the Hazardous Material Division and the Beach and Bay Program will provide information regarding the regulation and handling of Hazardous Materials & Hazardous/Medical Waste. The Beach and Bay program will be providing information regarding the sampling and posting of signs warning of contaminated water at beaches affected by sewage spills.
Empresa Performing Arts Foundation with Play-Well TEKnologies
We would love to run a LEGO STEM activity for the booth. We would have a few types of catapults made completely of LEGO that kids can use to try to make a projectile into different baskets. We can discuss the potential energy that is released via a spring. We will also have a lever actioned catapult that will launch the projectile based on the force from the kid on the lever.
San Diego County Vector Control Program
The Vector Control program will provide an experience to view real-life samples of the mosquito life cycle under microscopes. You will get to see what each stage looks like and what you should look out for in your own backyard to prevent mosquito breeding. Mosquitofish will also be on display! There will be many free giveaways including pencils, insect repellent, mosquito activity books, stickers, and more!
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Thermo Fisher Scientific's mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Our employee volunteers will offer a range of activities for the whole family! We create an interactive and educational environment through hands-on STEM opportunities: DNA extraction, centrifuge activities, and more! Additionally, in the College and Career Pavilion, we allow students to engage with representatives who can outline and assist with post-high school options.
