Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2023-01-17 13:34

Ms. Smarty-Plants™ Cools the Climate explores the water cycle, climate change, uncovers the “global weirding” phenomena, and inspires students to conserve San Diego’s most valuable resource: WATER! She takes families on a fun and interactive journey about science using a special mixture of music, magic, and fun. Ms. Smarty-Plants™ ignites the EARTH HERO in each of us! We request you please use the (TM) whenever using the name "Ms. Smarty-Plants™. Thank you.

Marine Genome Project

The Marine Genome Project focuses on using genetic tools for marine conservation efforts, while increasing diversity, inclusion and accessibility to marine science. Participants can extract DNA from strawberries, assemble the genome of fish, build an underwater kelp forest, go on a virtual scuba dive, and help scientist identify different species living in the ocean

San Diego State University

Student clubs and outreach organizations from San Diego State University will provide engaging and interactive demonstrations and activities for students and families of all ages. From rocket launches and racecars to marine animals and sound waves, audiences will learn directly from SDSU students in science and engineering about their favorite subjects.

Urban Discovery Schools

Student and staff representatives will showcase their interactive Exhibition design challenge that focuses on an environmental issue in California. The students will engage the audience in a recyclable sorting game, as well as present their proposals and prototypes on how to combat the environmental issue. The presentation will demonstrate the Design Thinking process.

The San Diego River Park Foundation

See what lives under the water and how the food web weaves a story of the San Diego River ecosystem. From dragonfly to bobcat, each animal plays an important role in keeping the river healthy. Make masks and pins of animals that all take part in the creating a river that supports an abundance of life. Create an eco-edible bird feeder that is climate neutral and forest-friendly.

General Atomics/Energy/Fusion

Highly interactive booth covering fundamentals of states of matter, magnetism, pressure and forces, and other interesting physical science-based phenomena.

Elementary Institute of Science

EIS will be partnering with Science Delivered to offer fun, engaging, hands-on activities for children. We will have paper helicopters for children to make and take home. We will have items to demonstrate and represent different STEM fields, such as blocks for engineering, preserved marine specimens, simple chemical reactions, a drone on display, etc.

MilliporeSigma

The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that we have turned into a mobile science lab. We aim to bring hands on science experiments to kids all across the country.

NSF Centers For Chemical Innovation

Fun hands-on chemistry activities for kids of all ages. Put together by the scientists from the NSF Centers for Chemical Innovation these activities demonstrate a range of chemical phenomena in robust ways using everyday items to make the chemistry concepts accessible to audiences of all different ages.

San Diego Natural History Museum

San Diego is an amazing place and it allows us to journey from our rich coastline to the mountains and from ancient forests to the rugged desert wilderness. Join the Nat as we jump into activities focused on our own backyard wilderness. We’ll explore native plants, animals that co-exist in our urban spaces and want we can do to help with conservation in this place we call home.
