Energy

San Diego Community Power

Come test your knowledge about energy! We will help inspire youth of all ages to learn about clean energy and how we can work towards a healthier, more sustainable future for all San Diegans. Activities to include a clean energy pledge, fun quizzes, and other experiential opportunities to learn how renewable energy works!

U.S. Naval Academy

Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy mentor you through your choice of several hands- on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages. The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM topics including chemistry, aerodynamics, electricity, logic, and robotics.

Magnolia Science Academy San Diego

We will have two booths. At one booth, we will have various science projects being demonstrated including an air cannon! Guests will be invited to try out the cannon for themselves. At the other booth, we will have VEX Robotics, Lego Robotics, and underwater robotics. At this station, guests will also be guided by our students in creating their own bristle bots!

General Atomics Energy/Fusion

Booth has interactive demonstrations for attendees. Topics covered include states of matter, electricity, and magnetism. Demonstrations include the use of permanent and electromagnets, liquid nitrogen, gaseous plasma tubes, and Tesla coils.

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.

MilliporeSigma and the Curiosity Cube

The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that has been transformed into a mobile science lab. It features interactive hands-on science experiments using the latest technology to spark curiosity in the next generation of scientists. The Curiosity Cube allows us to extend our impact beyond the classroom to reach students and their families at public events. The Curiosity Cube experiments are led by local MilliporeSigma employees.

USA BMX Foundation

Our booth activity will be the first lesson in our STEAM curriculum. In this lesson, students will build a bmx bike, and receive three NGSS STEM codes, and two math standards.

High Temperature Fusion is Very Cool!

Two presenters will provide lively demonstrations on states of matter, electricity & magnetism, force & pressure - these are science categories we use in our nuclear fusion research work. The demonstrations could include: liquid nitrogen, magnetic can launcher, Tesla coil, bed-of-nails, steel can differential pressure crush.

Urban Discovery Schools

Student and staff representatives will showcase their interactive Exhibition design challenge that focuses on an environmental issue in California. The students will engage the audience in a recyclable sorting game, as well as present their proposals and prototypes on how to combat the environmental issue. The presentation will demonstrate the Design Thinking process.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE)

The booth will either feature a VR experience from our wildfire mitigation team, or will be another interactive display.
