NSF Centers For Chemical Innovation
Fun hands-on chemistry activities for kids of all ages. Put together by the scientists from the NSF Centers for Chemical Innovation these activities demonstrate a range of chemical phenomena in robust ways using everyday items to make the chemistry concepts accessible to audiences of all different ages.
Fleet Science Center
Hands-on science activities for a wide range of ages led by Fleet Science Center staff and volunteers. We will also have information about Fleet programs for in-school, out-of-school, camps, clubs, adults, educators, and children.
Sweetwater Union High School District
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.
U.S. Naval Academy
Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering activities for all ages. The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM topics including chemistry, aerodynamics, electricity, logic, fluid mechanics and
robotics.

TaylorMade Golf Company
TaylorMade will offer a fun interactive putter demonstration and golf ball trajectory experiment.
County of San Diego
Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program will use a 3-D watershed model to demonstrate how surface water run-of and pollution leads to contamination of our beaches and bays. This impact on our recreational waters can affect our health. Also, we plan on demonstrating the various laboratory processes used for water quality testing in our public health lab, which help identify if the water has microbial pathogens.
DIII-D National Fusion Facility
Our booth will have hands-on demos and exciting demonstrations on energy and the states of matter. We'll show everything from the coldest of the cold (liquid nitrogen) to the hottest of the hot (plasmas), and explore how the different states of matter behave when energy is added to them. We look at how magnets react to different materials. We also explore energy generation through a pedal-powered light generator, and discuss how nuclear fusion is the future of green energy.
North County STEAM Block Party
Join us: Held at San Dieguito County Park, this event is free of charge and open to all ages!
