Grade School

UCSD Physics

Demonstrations on static electricity, optics and lenses, magnetism (jumping metal rings), and momentum. Also using liquid nitrogen to freeze superconductors so that they will levitate over magnets and other instructive demos (maybe make ice cream). Using dry ice and water to form comets. The demos with liquid nitrogen and dry ice will only be made by the exhibitors.

BioEASI (Biology Education and Art for Science Innovation)

Ever wonder what’s happening inside your body when you are sick?! Our bodies have the phenomenal ability to recognize hundreds of living entities that cause disease, known as pathogens, to attack them, and to keep us healthy. At our all-ages friendly booth, UCSD Biology scientists will explain parts of the immune system that are responsible for keeping us healthy and answer any questions you may have. Come learn how this amazing network recognizes and defends your body against foreign invaders!

National Marine Mammal Foundation

As part of our commitment to education, the National Marine Mammal Foundation participates in outreach efforts at local San Diego schools and public events. By educating children and the community about our exciting marine mammal discoveries, we hope to inspire future generations. We will offer hands on STEM demonstrations involving sound, effects of water pollution, and echolocation. We also have fun interactive games where participants can learn about marine mammal biology and win prizes.

Treobytes

Our presentation will promote our after school program, and the different courses we provide. Our facilitators will be there to explain and showcase which programs we offer. We will have two of our Globase2 computers which are part of our computer build curriculum. Kids and parent will have the opportunity to build parts of the Globase2, and answer question about software and hardware. The second Globase will have a monitor which will have Scratch open, and kids will be able to block code.

Solana Beach School District

Focusing on a Space theme this year, we will provide visitors with hands on activities that brings learning to life. We love to provide our students with leadership opportunities and this is a wonderful event for the students to shine and to share their love for science and engineering with others! With this in mind, our students will be leading the activities, however teachers will be there for support as well.

Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers

We will showcase how different liquids have different densities and plan to drop different objects of different compositions within the liquids, meanwhile explaining how the composition of the dropped objects causes them to fluctuate and move between the levels. We plan to have multiple objects that people passing by can drop within the liquid and see the effects the different levels of density have on the behavior of the objects.

UCSD Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research

At the booth, we will have flyers regarding the different programs. We also have educational displays that help to highlight the core tenants of our program. For example, we have a “sugar demo” with popular drinks to display the sugar content in each drink. This is designed to help people increase their awareness of their food choices so they can make healthier choices. We also have a brain game where kids can learn where the main lobes are and how these lobes affect our decision making. We
