Engineering

Urban Discovery Academy

Students will be showcasing learning, including Squishy Circuits and Lego Mindstorms Robots. Visiting attendees will have the opportunity to connect wires and playdough to light up a lightbulb while as they learn about electricity and circuits. Attendees can also engage in a robot race and hear about how they can use coding to design and drive robots.

CART Youth Foundation-C.A.R.T. FTC 23280

CART Youth Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to empower and uplift the youth, equip them with skills, values, mindset needed to succeed and make a positive contribution to the communities. C.A.R.T FTC 23280 under CART Youth is the community competitive robotics team made up of 7th to 10th graders who has mission to inspire students to explore STEM through the hands-on experience of designing, building, and programming robots while having fun in the process.

Mechanical Advantage

Mechanical Advantage is a nonprofit corporation and FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team. Mechanical Advantage has been supporting this event since 2019 by providing hands-on robotics experiences for attendees of all ages. Attendees can have fun learning about robotics while operating table-top robots and driving a small, crowd friendly robot with soft tires that was designed just for large events like this. We have historically operated out of a 10’x10’ space.

DPR Construction

TBD

Droyd

Droyd will have electric ride-on bikes and tricylces for ages 3 and up. Ideally, there would be a demo area near us for kids to ride and learn about electric toys.

Verizon

Booth design & activity is still TBD as this is our first year participating in the event. Our new "local" marketing team will start evaluating options in the next 30 - 45 days.

San Diego City College - School of Science, Mathematics, and Nursing/San Diego City College Outreach

Hands on activities in chemistry, physics, geosciences, astronomy, and life sciences. This will include live demonstrations and hands on experiments and activities.

Team High Voltage , First Tech Challenge

The booth will be hosted by High School Students of Team High Voltage. The primary activity will be the demo of various types of Robots and hands-on experience for participants. They can learn about robotics, play with robots, and learn about the design, programming, and engineering aspects related to these robots.

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.

Naval Information Warfare Pacific

AI vs Human: Can you sort objects (different vehicle types) faster than a robot? The human participant will be blind folded or obstructed from the view of the bin of different objects. The goal of the challenge will be for human and robot to sort the objects(vehicles) into three different bins in a set time limit (1 minute). This fun interactive experience highlights the core disciplines (computer science, robotics, and machine learning) of our science and engineering workforce.
