NDIA San Diego Chapter

NDIA Exhibit booth goals are to have students learn about technology needed within DoD from our industry partners and military including Navy Diving Helmets, Robotics, a variety of electronic tools, lights, and lasers. NDIA members talk to the students and parents about careers in STEM and provided helpful information based on their real-world experience. Together we help awaken a greater interest in STEM and STEM education.

Inspire Charter Schools

Educational outreach for our charter school, which is a very large independent study public charter school program for the state of California. We will invite one of our San Diego science vendors to host a hands-on STEM activity, like one of these: : https://sciencing.com/test-tube-science-experiments-kids-12051606.html https://corporate.target.com/article/2012/02/easy-science-experiments-for-kids-by-the-kitchen-p https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/blog/2013/02/04/test-tube-valentines/

NASA Glenn Research Center Space Communications and Navigation Program

Assets of the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program are created into models and projected on our Holographic video display. NASA’s SCaN Program sponsors the exhibit to communicate the message of “Decade of Light” in an innovative, animated way. Content includes an animation of the purpose, functionality and design of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) 13 created by one of our Program’s former summer interns.
