Don't Try This Home!
Stand back: We're doing science! Don't Try This at Home will explore science that's too messy, too noisy and too hair-raising to do at home!

POWAY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Student exhibit of STEM Challenge activities.
San Diego Model Railroad Museum
An interactive solar-powered model train demonstration will take place. Visitors can observe the strength of solar power by observing the speed the model train is capable of running solely powered by the sun's energy. Then they can interact with the exhibit and test different ways to make the model train slow down in speed and eventually figure out how to make the model train completely come to a stop.
Juice from Juice
Our booth, supported by the NSF Center for Chemical Innovation in Solar Fuels, is all about solar energy and renewable fuels. We will have physical demos of solar powered fuel cells and silicon solar panels that attendees can interact with and ask questions of scientists doing research on the topics. Most importantly though, our booth will be a station where kids (and adults!) can make their own dye-sensitized solar cells using blackberry juice and other common household materials. Up to 5 people can be making a cell at once and it only takes 5 min to complete.
