Since 2009 Castle Park High students, under the guidance of Dr. Robert Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Established students from our BASG group are now teaching our new members how to complete the process of biodiesel synthesis. In addition to the synthesis of biodiesel, students use a particle counter to determine how many particles are produced during the combustion of various fuels. These data indicate how “clean” the fuel burns and how particulate impacts our global climate.

Zovargo’s mission is to foster human-animal connections through unique encounters and interactive educational programs that inspire conservation stewardship. All our programs allow for hands-on learning about various animals, the environment, and biology of those animals. From frogs, chameleons, birds, insects, and more – we provide education and inspiration about how everyone can become conservation stewards! We’ll be bringing up to 7 different species with us on the day of the event.
