High School

San Diego County Regional Airport Authority

Stop by and learn about the broad range of work that keeps an airport like SAN running, evolving, and connected! Our team will share insights into airport operations, planning, and community-focused initiatives by showcasing the work of departments like Environmental Affairs, Aircraft Noise, and the Quieter Home Program. Learn more about how collaboration across disciplines keeps America's Busiest Single Runway Airport moving, and strengthens our connection with the communities we serve.

U.S.Naval Academy

Midshipmen mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages, The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM activities including chemistry, electricity, logic, code breaking, and buoyancy.

America's Navy

The Navy’s booth at the San Diego STEM Festival will serve as a high-visibility, interactive space designed to engage K–12 students, educators, and parents through hands-on STEM experiences and direct conversations with Navy personnel. The footprint will showcase how STEM skills translate into real-world Navy missions across engineering, technology, aviation, cyber, and medical fields.

SYSTRA IBT

Test your knowledge of bridges as our engineers demonstrate the concepts of bridge engineering using scale models built with K'NEX blocks. Visitors will discover how bridges are designed and built and learn how they, too, can become bridge engineers.

San Diego Public Library

The San Diego Public Library celebrates the 10th anniversary of Spring into STEAM! This year’s theme, “Ta-Da!”, explores the science of magic through physics, optics, and chemistry for ages 6–12. We’ll feature over 50 free library programs for parents to register for and promote our teen DISCOVER programs that focus on both STEAM and college readiness programs. We are currently developing an activity, right now we are thinking of disappearing ink!

Fusion Education Incorporation

At Fusion’s booth, visitors can explore our student-designed robots from both the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) programs, learn how we use engineering, coding, and teamwork to solve real-world problems, and watch our hands-on robot demonstrations. Our team will showcase projects, share experiences from competitions, and provide information about classes, workshops, and programs where kids can get involved in robotics.

Bioengineering Graduate Society

The UCSD Bioengineering graduate society will host a hands-on activity for K-12 students about stem cell differentiation. A groundbreaking UCSD study has shown that stem cells differentiate based on the material properties of the surface that they are on. Students will blindly feel into many boxes to feel the material properties of different materials and guess what a stem cell would differentiate into if on that material. There is then an arts and crafts section where students can make their o
