KPBS Kids events across the county consist of special visits by your favorite KPBS Kids television characters, story times, and hands-on activities that connect to program educational themes. Visit us to explore fun science, math, and literacy activities for the whole family, and learn how you can meet Super Why, Curious George, Clifford, Daniel Tiger, Molly of Denali, and other KPBS Kids friends at the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum and other locations this year!

San Diego State University representatives from science, health and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch urchins wearing hats, code your own bracelet, build neurons out of pipe cleaners, explore the solar system in virtual reality and more! Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

Stop by the Northrop Grumman booth to learn how we are defining possible. We design, develop, build and support some of the world’s most advanced products.

Student clubs and outreach organizations from San Diego State University will provide engaging and interactive demonstrations and activities for students and families of all ages. From rocket launches and racecars to marine animals and sound waves, audiences will learn directly from SDSU students in science and engineering about their favorite subjects.

Visitors will launch a rocket, study the amazing properties of water, view microscopic life forms and write a secret message with the magic of science. These hands-on demos will share basic concepts in chemistry, biology, and physics using safe and readily available materials. Booth visitors will be eligible for a free registration to the Pittcon Conference and Exposition which will be held in San Diego in February 2024.
