Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Our booth demonstrates the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discusses the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outlines the ease of production. Our booth includes CAICE researchers who provide demonstrations concerning climate change and atmospheric chemistry. We also partner with Algenesis who demonstrate biodegradable materials that mimic plastics and foams.

Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair
The Student Leadership Board of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair is planning simple, safe, hands-on science activities to engage students in grades K-12. They will also coordinate a "crowd source" activity, where the more participants, the more accurate the data. Each participant will provide a data point for the activity.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Our booth will consist of a few stations. One station the guests will build replica lungs in a cup using plastic cups and balloons to understand the effects of Cystic Fibrosis in the lungs. To help make this point we will also have a mini lung display hooked up to a computer monitor. At another station guests will make slime.
