San Deigo-Imperial Council Boy Scouts of America
The Boy Scouts of America's STEM committee would like to have a booth featuring the NOVA Awards program which incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The hope is that these awards stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them.

Gold Sponsor
One 10' x 10' booth at Park Blvd. gate, One 10' x 10' booth at Park Blvd. gate, One 10' x 30" booth at Gaslamp gate. I will send more information about the demos we will be showing later.
SouthWest Robotics in Science Education
We will have Lego Mindstorms Robots that families can learn how to program on our laptops. We will also have information regarding our Clubhouse , programming workshops, and events that we sponsor (for example, the San Diego County Fair's Robotics competitions.)
Cardboard Video Game Controller Workshop
In this booth, we will demonstrate how to make "video game controllers" out of cardboard, foil, glue, makey makey (makeymakey.com) devices, and a laptop. Students will go through 2 different stations: controller design and testing. The design station will be cutting out and decorating a cardboard controller. The testing station will be hooking up the controller to a makey makey and using it to play 1 level of Guitar Hero, Super Mario Bros, or game on Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) on our laptops.
STREAM
Students will showcase PBL activities along with interactive, hands-on engineering challenges.
SAM and BOB the ROBOTS
The booth will be comprised of two fully functional moving life sized humanoid robotic figures. The robotic figures will be interacting and talking with each other. There dialog will include joking and humorous arguments to attract spectators and encourgage laughter among the visitors. The booth will also include a couple decorative backboards for two reasons. First reason is to spice up the look of the booth, but also to hide the electronics and audio equipment so they are out of sight. We will also have pictures and descriptions of the robots laid out around one of tables within the booth.
