LPA
Students from the Monarch School’s elementary STEAM club along with LPA designers, architects and engineers will lead visitors in a tower building competition that explores the integrated approach to structures through architecture and engineering.
Teams will have several minutes to design and build block towers that will then be seismically tested on a shake table. The team who’s tower stands longest wins!
The San Diego River Park Foundation
Kids get to practice hands-on science by observing bugs collected from the San Diego River! Kids can identify the bugs under a microscope and use the identification to help determine the health of the River!
Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project
The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project (GAVRT) is a partnership between NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Lewis Center for Educational Research, a K-12 Charter School in Apple Valley, California. GAVRT trains educators on the basics of radio astronomy, technical topics pertinent to the project’s science observation campaigns, and telescope operations. Once trained, educators schedule time on the radio telescope for their class to collect data on a strong radio source.
City of San Diego Public Utilities Department, Pure Water Program
Informational materials and giveaways related to the City of San Diego's Pure Water San Diego program. Booth visitors can play a "Water You Know" trivia game to win prizes.
Cabrillo National Monument
Visit Cabrillo National Monument's Science Education Team to learn about San Diego's ecology with a fun activity suitable for all ages! You'll use your powers of observation to recognize and understand native plants and pollinators, and how invasive species impact our environment. There will be a station with live local plants and a pollinator box, plus an activity that simulates the sensory systems of ants through identifying their "pheromones". Be a scientist with the National Park Service!
San Diego Public Library
DIY STEAM Project (TBD)
EcoVivarium LIVE!
Unique demonstration of reptile animal behaviors.
EcoVivarium
Hands-on interaction with reptiles and arthropods. We invite the public to meet, interact, and explore our relationship with nature through these amazing Ambassador Animals.
Magnolia Science Academy
Our students will be showcasing their award-winning future city model at the expo. Also guests will be given basic building kits that include recyclable materials to build miniature futuristic cities. All materials will be kids-friendly.
Future City is a project-based learning program where students in 6, 7, and 8 grades imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future. From painting buildings to creating landscapes students are able to reflect their vision of the future.
