Let’s Explore Engineering Together!
The host(s) will visually explore a few basic engineering concepts, then share examples of the various ways technology can be applied. The presentation will be interactive with the audience.
Science of Sport / Padres Science of Baseball
Come check out the Padres Science of Baseball program and see how we bring math and science to life using baseball. You will have the opportunity to test out the Blast Motion software and take some swings to see how fast your bat speed is compared to Major Leaguer Baseball players. You will also be able to interact with activities we offer in the program like trajectory of ball flight, reaction time, fielding percentage, geometric angles of the field and ballpark design.
TechKnowHow, Inc®
Attendees will be presented with various builds/examples of Robotics builds with legos. Students will be able to explore the different builds and use to test different scenarios to see how the build comes to life. Builds are powered with battery packs and move with motors and gears. Students will also be presented with computers that have different programs/projects with include Programming and Coding and also Game Design. Attendees have an opportunity to explore both Lego and computer projects.
Cox Communications

San Diego Public Library
This Spring, the San Diego Public Library launches its first annual STEAM program, with hands-on programs at each of its 36 locations. The Catalog of Life @ the
Library effort is part of a Library citizen science initiative. Spring into STEAM: Bug Out! is geared towards students age 9 to12 and will feature free, hands-on science programs in March, April and May. Inspired by Catalog of Life, these programs will include entomology, coding, bioengineering and more.
Univision Radio
10 x 30 booth (2 10x10 booths) radio activities.
Participants will be able to see how radio works - they'll have an opportunity to record their radio commercials and hear themselves. We playback the audio to sound live. Many of these will actually be featured on the radio.
