College and Beyond (21+)

Engineering in Action!

The booth will incorporate several different hands-on activities (yet to be determined, but we have ideas flowing!) that incorporate engineering. Testing is in our nature and we are eager to share this with our community. When do things break? Why does a glass break at a different frequency than a brick? Why does ice melt at a different temperature than plastic? These are the kinds of questions we love to explore and find ways to improve performance of products and packaging.

SAM and BOB the ROBOTS

The booth will be comprised of two fully functional moving life sized humanoid robotic figures. The robotic figures will be interacting and talking with each other. There dialog will include joking and humorous arguments to attract spectators and encourgage laughter among the visitors. The booth will also include a couple decorative backboards for two reasons. First reason is to spice up the look of the booth, but also to hide the electronics and audio equipment so they are out of sight. We will also have pictures and descriptions of the robots laid out around one of tables within the booth.

Near Space Ballooning

With the recent surge of interest in space with New Horizons (NASA's mission to Pluto) and hobbyists enthusiasm for launching their own balloons for increased observation and experiment runs, the CaSGC in conjunction with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), will be exhibiting Near Space Ballooning, unmanned balloons involving using a latex weather balloon, usually filled with Helium, to carry payloads through the Earth's atmosphere to very high altitudes, up to 100,000 feet.

City of San Diego Public Utilities Department - Pure Water San Diego and Water Conservation Programs

Informational materials and free giveaways regarding the City's Pure Water San Diego and water conservation programs will be distributed. We will either have an interactive activity that engages festival attendees to guess the difference between tap, recycled and purified water samples, or we will bring our "'Water' You Know?" jeopardy quiz board that asks fun questions that educate festival attendees of all ages about water.

SD Futures: Improving Lives Through Technology

At the booth we will have information about our: Education and Training programs (IT Technician Pathway, Digital Literacy Classes, Senior Tech Ambassador, and specialized trainings/workshops), Digital Media Services (Website services, Video Production, Videography, Graphic Design, Animation), Technical Services (On site, remote and consulting support), and our Hardware Programs (Low-Cost Computer Program, Computer Repair service, Non-Profit donation and Sales, E-Recycling).
