SYSTRA IBT

Join our practicing engineers in hands-on demonstrations of scale model bridges. Test the limits of each model, and discover the secrets of how they work.
Learn how bridges withstand the forces of cars, trucks, trains, wind, earthquakes, and more. See and touch actual bridge materials. Learn how you, too, can become a bridge engineer!

UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

Various SSPPS student organizations may be educating on topics including diabetes, immunizations, poison prevention, asthma/vaping, drug development, drug compounding, and we may possibly provide blood pressure screenings.

County of San Diego

Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program will use a 3-D watershed model to demonstrate how surface water run-of and pollution leads to contamination of our beaches and bays. This impact on our recreational waters can affect our health. Also, we plan on demonstrating the various laboratory processes used for water quality testing in our public health lab, which help identify if the water has microbial pathogens.

DIII-D National Fusion Facility

Our booth will have hands-on demos and exciting demonstrations on energy and the states of matter. We'll show everything from the coldest of the cold (liquid nitrogen) to the hottest of the hot (plasmas), and explore how the different states of matter behave when energy is added to them. We look at how magnets react to different materials. We also explore energy generation through a pedal-powered light generator, and discuss how nuclear fusion is the future of green energy.

County of San Diego Vector Control Program

The booth will include info about mosquitoes & public health. There will be interactive activities where visitors can look at insect samples under microscopes. Visitors will learn about the mosquito life cycle, entomology, and how to stay safe from vector transmitted diseases. There will also be giveaways like pencils, magnets, or magnifiers. Info about other environmental health programs including water quality analysis will also be available. We will try to have a Spanish speaker present.
