JCS San Diego Academy

Our booth will be two tents. One is a workshop and the other is a "Walk-in-Painting" (based on a scientific topic) where public art created in our workshop tent, will be added to our interactive installation. This booth will be designed, built and ran by the students of Julian Charter School, San Diego Academy.

Tijuana River NERR

Wonderful Wetlands! Did you know that wetlands are found worldwide and are among the richest habitats, just as rich as a tropical rainforest? Meet scientists from the Tijuana Estuary, discover wetland critters, play with a mudflat, see what kind of science wetland biologists do, and discover why wetlands are important for YOU and for wildlife.

Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group

Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.

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. http://www.sdicbsa.org/Advancement/STEMNovaProgram.php

Join EcoVivarium as they bring hidden reptiles, amphibians and bugs - out from under the rocks and out of the shadows into the light of day. Together we will travel back in time to take a look at their influence on science, art, cultures and history from Aboriginal tribes, ancient Egypt and all the way up through modern medicine and the critical role they play saving lives each and every day. It's a fascinating world they live in, come along with EcoVivarium as we Step In To Their World...(R)
