ART SCIENCE COMPLEX

Our flagship program, ART SCIENCE COMPLEX's "Imaginaria", is a project oriented, process based, thinking and learning platform--a living laboratory of imagination, sanctuary to nurture rampant creativity, to manifest one's own inventions and innovations--via drawing, building, painting, folding, writing, model making, reading, composing...

JCS San Diego Academy

Our 1st tent will be an Art Laboratory where people learn about how the atomic elements cycle through the ecosystem. Our second tent will be a giant painting of a mad scientists lab, with a hole cut so that you can enter the painting. Inside the painting is a dance floor where people will be prompted to do chemistry related dances via our atomic disco ball and projected dance lessons as our elemental musics blasts to the rhythm of the expanding universe.

Systra IBT

Our practicing bridge engineers will share their knowledge and passion for structural engineering, which draws on math, physics, design, art, materials, and construction. In addition to illustrative exhibits, we provide an engaging hands-on model bridge building activity that is designed to introduce youth of all ages to basic structural engineering concepts. Bridge model kits are used, consisting of paint-mixing sticks, binder clips, chains, S-hooks, and large bottles of water for load testing.

NASA Glenn Research Center Space Communications and Navigation Program

Assets of the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program are created into models and projected on our Holographic video display. NASA’s SCaN Program sponsors the exhibit to communicate the message of “Decade of Light” in an innovative, animated way. Content includes an animation of the purpose, functionality and design of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) 13 created by one of our Program’s former summer interns.

Gizmos & Gadgets Kids Lab

We offer a hands-on STEAM-based program to K-8th grades. We believe that early nurturing of children’s natural curiosity and validation of their inherent desire to explore the world around them is one of the keys to igniting the sparks of creativity and a life long love for learning. We will be offering some hands-on activities for engineering that include rocket launchers and mini-catapults.

Our Gizmos & Gadgets team will put together a full size catapult on stage using real tools and demonstrate that all ages of children are able to enjoy engineering! We will test our build by catapulting soft foam balls! We will also be creating some Art with exploding paint rockets (because who doesn't like science and art combined)! We love to show that STEM can be loads of fun!

Solana Beach School District-STREAM

We will have students(K-6) showcasing their projects that they have completed in our STREAM program. This students are passionate about their work and look forward to sharing their projects showcasing their solutions to real-world issues to a public audience. Our booth will also include an engineering challenge that the students will help guide attendance through. We have participated in this event for the last 3 year and are excited to be back!
