Cabrillo National Monument
Our booth will focus on the fusion of nature, technology and citizen science in the National Parks!
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) at UCSD
To show the various sides of Chemical Engineering, we are planning on hosting chemistry experiments (i.e. silly putty, slime, etc) to provide hands-on experience. This is aimed towards students in grade school and middle school to spark their interest in STEM. In addition to this, we will display a retired Chem-E-Car from a previous competition, as well as an AIChE Projects Program poster aimed towards those who are in high school and beyond. We'll have members present to answer questions, too.
United States Naval Academy STEM Center
variety of hands on activities including hydraulics, robotics, aerodynamics. fluids, thermodynamics, and physics principles, demonstrated by midshipmen and faculty from USNA.
FIRST Technical Challenge
Members of local FIRST Technical Challenge teams (consisting of middle through high-school students) will be demonstrating their robots for the community. Some teams will allow attendees to operate their robots.
Robolink, Inc.
Robolink is an education company that teaches children programming and engineering principles with robots and drones. We are striving to nurture the makers, builders, and innovators of the future by learning STEM. We will be demoing our robotics and drone kit, as well as providing simple and easy workshops at our booth to show how we teach programming.
MEL Science Ltd.
We create MEL Chemistry (https://melscience.com ). This is an educational kit for kids to help them study chemistry at home with parents. The UK and US certified kit includes all the necessary equipment and reagents to make chemical experiments at home literally in your kitchen.
J. Craig Venter Institute
Hands-on activities relating to our current research, including the Human Microbiome Project, Global Ocean Sampling as well as other genomic research projects. We will also have information surrounding our current internship opportunities.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Visitors will have the opportunity to construct a lung model and learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. Visitors will also be able to make some fake mucous (aka slime) and learn why this sticky mucous clogs the lungs. Scientists will demonstrate how Cl- channels work and everyone will have the chance at winning their very own Cl- ball.
Russian School of Mathematics
The Russian School of Mathematics is an award-winning, afterschool math program for K-12 students. We help children of all levels build a solid math foundation and develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Our systematic curriculum and approach is based on the best practices of math schools in Russia and Europe, adapted to the US educational environment. Our dedicated and trained teachers are distinguished
Science of Sport / Padres Science of Baseball
Come check out the Padres Science of Baseball program and see how we bring math and science to life using baseball. You will have the opportunity to test out the Blast Motion software and take some swings to see how fast your bat speed is compared to Major Leaguer Baseball players. You will also be able to interact with activities we offer in the program like trajectory of ball flight, reaction time, fielding percentage, geometric angles of the field and ballpark design.
