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.
San Deigo-Imperial Council Boy Scouts of America
The Boy Scouts of America's STEM committee would like to have a booth featuring the NOVA Awards program which incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The hope is that these awards stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them.

San Diego County Credit Union Finance Jeopardy
Parents and kids are welcome to stop by the SDCCU booth to play a game of SDCCU Finance Jeopardy for an opportunity to win a chance to step into the SDCCU Cash Cube. Also, learn all about SDCCU's breakthrough banking products, services and education.
C2 Education SAT Jeopardy
C2 Education will provide an interactive Jeopardy game that offers students and parents the opportunity to answer grade level questions in SAT subject matter including Math, Reading and Writing. Every participant will receive a certificate for a free academic consultation and be entered into a drawing for prizes to be awarded during the course of the expo.
Music Notes Math Concert
Our math concerts have taught, engaged, and entertained countless students, teachers and parents. People of all ages enjoy listening and dancing to our math songs. Once you witness a Music Notes concert you will never look at math the same!
Bridge Building and the Engineering Design Process
Our booth will contain a hands on engineering activity designed around the NGSS practices. Students and parents will design and build brides together. We are focusing on the engineering design process to have students, parents and community members to ask, explore, model, evaluate and explain.
Mathematics and Art
Our booth will have mathematical activities geared toward creating works of art. Among the activities we will have are sketching activities that leverage projective geometry. In these activities participants will use central projections in order to create linear perspective drawings and anamorphic projections (think 3d sidewalk art, or the skull in Holbein's The Ambassadors). Members of CRMSE (professors and graduate students) will facilitate the activities. Additionally, we may include other activities that have/will be developed in the InforMath Research Collaborative at Balboa Park.
E2 Young Eingineers
Enrichment program for elementary and middle school
Engineer your own Origami Boats!
Students will build origami boats of varying levels of complexity and attempt to make the boats float in a tub of water. We will provide additional materials (e.g. Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, etc.) to challenge kids to propel their boats from one end of the tub to the other. Participants can also choose to race against one another.
