Primary tabs
National Park Service - Cabrillo National Monument
A sampling of hands-on STEM activities that showcase the natural resources of & real science performed in our National Parks. Attendees will learn about SD native plants & why invasive plants are destructive; try out reptile & amphibian study techniques; after learning about adaptations, they will build their own birds to demonstrate how organisms fit into their ecosystems; & more! These activities will be led by park scientists & youth apprentices, demonstrating science is for everyone!

Marine Genome Project
Booth with fun activists for people of all ages showing how to extract DNA from strawberries, scuba diving equipment used to collect tissue samples from marine species, along with other activities relating to marine science and underwater exploration
Living Coast Discovery Center
Living Coast will provide a STEAM -focused activity and information on our school / camp / community programs. There will also be the opportunity for guests to learn about one of our animal ambassadors.
CREATE at UC San Diego
5/1: Get a close look at local nocturnal and diurnal animal specimens (not live) and learn about their traits and adaptations to our local climate.
5/7: Learn how to make UV Resin jewelry just in time for Mother's Day!
County of San Diego Vector Control Program
The booth will include info about mosquitoes & public health. There will be interactive activities where visitors can look at insect samples under microscopes. Visitors will learn about the mosquito life cycle, entomology, and how to stay safe from vector transmitted diseases. There will also be giveaways like pencils, magnets, or magnifiers. Info about other environmental health programs including water quality analysis will also be available. We will try to have a Spanish speaker present.
Virtual Field Trip: River Bugs Are Cool!
Join the San Diego River Park Foundation on a virtual adventure along the San Diego River!
The River Bugs Are Cool! virtual field trip offers kids an opportunity to connect with their local environment, interact with a river scientist, and explore the San Diego River virtually, all while learning about ecology and environmental stewardship!
Elementary Institute of Science
We will have hands-on engineering, marine biology, chemistry, and or other STEM activities. also, we will provide information about STEM programs for 2nd-12 grades.
Birch Aquarium at Scripps
Guests will understand the principles of buoyancy by experimenting with their own diver.
Participants will be able to-
● Define and understand the concept of buoyancy
● Explain how a fish moves up and down in the water column
● Engage in the scientific process by conducting a water experiment using a diver and playing with the concept of buoyancy.
