High School

City of San Diego - Public Utilities

Our booth will include banners, pictures, demonstration items, handouts and giveaways. We have a "Down the Drain" spinning wheel that will draw people toward/into our booth. The "Down the Drain" game allows us to interact with people and present our message. We want the public to be good stewards of the environment and dispose of items properly (trash, sewer or compost). We will also answer any questions people ask regarding wastewater treatment and food waste.

UCSD Neuroscience Outreach

Neurosciences graduate students founded and organized the Neuroscience Outreach Program to share our knowledge of the brain and neuroscience research with San Diego students and community members. This year at the EXPO our student volunteers present several teaching modules, including sheep brain dissection, comparative neuroanatomy, and demonstrations of electrical signaling in the nervous system, including making a cockroach leg "dance" to music played through an iPhone.

The Alchemist Chef

The Alchemist Chef is nothing like you've seen in the last 10 years. Combining science, with a little bit of humor and LOTS of fun will definitely have everyone on the edge of their seats! Each show contains high-energy and fully interactive to your festival schedule with fast paced antics, visual props, audience participation, and amazing science experiments that will blow the audience's minds away! Who knows, maybe something will blow-up, ignite on fire or shoot across the stage?

Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP)

SBP will be very hands-on with experiments, showing what we do in the lab, yet on lay-friendly level. We will have things for kids and adults to look at (last year it was Virtual reality glasses and proteins, and C.elegans - tiny worms) and be interactive with our scientist volunteers. (exact experiments TBD) We will also apply temporary DNA tattoos, and give out little lab coats. We will make the science exciting and interesting for all!

San Diego Public Library

San Diego Public Library is proud to provide STEAM Education during our Spring into STEAM programming. We will provide information about upcoming activities, hands on interactive exhibits for children, and fun library prizes will be available while supplies last. This year's Spring into STEAM theme is called "Blast Off!" Join us as we explore our solar system, and discover new ways to travel beyond our own planet.
