Join KPBS Kids at our interactive booth to explore fun science, math, and literacy activities inspired by your favorite PBS Kids programs! Kids and families will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, receive fun giveaways, and discover how they can connect with beloved KPBS Kids characters like Clifford, Curious George, Daniel Tiger, Elinor Wonders Why, and Molly of Denali throughout the year!
Activities will introduce the public to the monitoring that takes place within the Reserve including an exhibit of a data logger, a model of a salt marsh for hands on vegetation sampling, and a salt marsh super heroes interactive for elementary-aged students, and a "fishing" activity which incorporates a simulation of trapping fish and invertebrates.
Now’s your chance to sail on an aircraft carrier — the Strike Group is in your area! Play our new virtual reality game All Hands, learn about Navy missions around the world and chat with real Sailors. See you at San Diego Science and Engineering Festival 2025!
Hands on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences
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.
10X10 booth with interactive, STEM-based hands on displays.
KPBS Kids events across the county consist of special visits by your favorite KPBS Kids television characters, story times, and hands-on activities that connect to program educational themes. Visit us to explore fun science, math, and literacy activities for the whole family, and learn how you can meet Super Why, Curious George, Clifford, Daniel Tiger, Molly of Denali, and other KPBS Kids friends at the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum and other locations this year!
Don't miss the ABC 10News Experience, a hands-on opportunity for kids to see how television news is created and what it is like to be a reporter or anchor. Learn how graphics are made, try your hand reading scripts, see being on camera comes together in a news story, weather report or breaking news. Meet some of the ABC 10News Anchors, Reporters and Meteorologists who do this every day!
The booth will either feature a VR experience from our wildfire mitigation team, or will be another interactive display.
