10x30; 2 tables next to each other on one side of the "flu bug" vehicle and 1 table on the other side of the car.
Sally Ride Science @ UC San DIego
Imprinted Glowie - "Plastics casting from 3D printed parts in homemade molds with LED lights. Mold your own glowing heart, skull, etc... from natural, reusable, low temp thermoplastic; light it up with an LED and coin battery."
SYSTRA IBT
Our practicing bridge engineers will share their knowledge and passion for structural engineering, which draws on math, physics, design, art, materials, and construction. In addition to illustrative exhibits, we provide an engaging hands-on model bridge building activity that is designed to introduce youth of all ages to basic structural engineering concepts. Bridge model kits are used, consisting of paint-mixing sticks, binder clips, chains, S-hooks, and large bottles of water for load testing.
Southwest High School Biomedical Pathway (Good Vibrations)
You’ve likely experienced older adults with hearing aids struggling to hear what you’re saying to them. You probably feel like hearing loss might have something to do with age, right? But have you ever considered which types of sounds they find the hardest to hear? Since sounds are made of waves which vibrate at different frequencies, certain types of sounds are harder to hear!
In this exploration, festival goers will participate in an experience to investigate how aging impacts hearing.
Society of Women Engineers
Participants will balance bricks on levers, feel the benefit of using pulleys, and see how inclined planes can decrease work.
UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Student pharmacists will help to educate the public with activities related to asthma, diabetes, hypertension, immunizations, medication safety, and poison prevention.
MiraCosta College
From bouncy balls to slime, participants will explore the chemical principles and properties of polymers.
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.
e3 Civic High
The e3 Civic High STEM booth will feature a robotics demonstration from the school's FIRST Robotics team, the Griffins. The booth will also feature an interactive gardening experience that will allow visitors to pot and take home a small plant that will inspire them to think about how they can contribute to a greener world. Whether interested in human anatomy and physiology, aviation, robotics, agriculture, or nutrition, scholars can explore their curiosity for STEM at e3 Civic High.
Scripps Research
Come and participate in an interactive experiment and learn all about the fun science programs we offer to the community!
