Fleet Science Zone
At the “Fleet Science Zone,” visitors age 6 and older are invited to build, create and explore. Activities will highlight aspects of Fleet Science Center’s Tinkering Studio.
Exploring Nature
An exploration from native San Diego plant communities to the Rocky Intertidal Ecosystem. Come #FindYourPark beyond the park as we showcase all the natural resources of Cabrillo National Monument.
Cardboard Video Game Controller Workshop
In this booth, we will demonstrate how to make "video game controllers" out of cardboard, foil, glue, makey makey (makeymakey.com) devices, and a laptop. Students will go through 2 different stations: controller design and testing. The design station will be cutting out and decorating a cardboard controller. The testing station will be hooking up the controller to a makey makey and using it to play 1 level of Guitar Hero, Super Mario Bros, or game on Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) on our laptops.
Jefferson Elementary IB STEAM Magnet School
The booth will be a hands on interactive booth. It will showcase our after school Maker Club. The students in the club built a ball ramp maze wall that has moveable pieces so that others may make their own maze. The booth will also include other student created STEAM items.
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.
STREAM
Students will showcase PBL activities along with interactive, hands-on engineering challenges.
Solana Beach School District-STREAM
showing student work from across the district
Bioengineering
This year we would like to have 3 different projects to present to the students.
1. Organ matching board: This is a fun activity for younger kids (elementary) to try to match the cartoon organs to the appropriate function and associated disease.
2. Either a Makey Makey board or a Mindflex duel game: A Makey Makey Board (http://makeymakey.com/) is essentially a simple circuit board that can be used as a controller with your computer, which we will use to teach the kids (elementary-middle) about circuitry (grounding, completing the circuit, etc).
The Nat - San Diego Natural History Museum
Life Science - Exact activity and theme TBD
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!
