San Diego Children's Discovery Museum
We will bring our Mobile Children's Museum exhibits. These exhibits are mobile versions of the pieces we have at the Museum that foster engineering, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Potential exhibits include our Rigamajig, Ball Wall, Imagination Playground, or Rokenbok. All exhibits are STEM-based.
DPR Construction
We are planning to present a hands-on virtual reality experience (using DPR Construction’s own kid-friendly cardboard headsets) that lets visitors, using their own cell phones, follow a URL to a real 3D Building Information Model hosted in the Cloud. The general experience is meant to demonstrate how technology helps our teams bring 2D construction plans to life. We also have some kid-friendly activities such as scavenger hunts and clash detection searches that we can have them participate in, depending on timing.
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.
Sally Ride Science @ UC San Diego
The Sally Ride Science Academy offers fascinating and fun STEAM workshops for students entering grades 3 through 12. Our online and in-person workshops let students investigate coding, acting, space science, marine biology and more, as they immerse themselves in hands-on projects. Top-notch STEAM instructors incorporate real-life stories of vibrant women conducting research in each field inspiring students and making STEAM careers more accessible.
San Diego Children's Discovery Museum
San Diego Children's Discovery Museum provides hands-on STEM experiences for children through its mobile exhibits program. Children can experiment with gravity on Ball Wall, use their imagination to architect buildings out of large foam blocks, and explore engineering through play. Each exhibit comes with unique STEM challenges to encourage children to push beyond their current knowledge and uncover endless opportunities to learn through play.

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!
STEAM Week Live Main Stage
The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering, presented by the Illumina Foundation, will be fully virtual this year from April 24-May 2 on lovestemsd.org.
The Live Main Stage event is from 10am-6pm on Tuesday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 28 with fun and interactive STEAM activities, a special Women in STEAM event as well as a COVID-19 conversation for kids and teens.
