KPBS

Join KPBS Kids at our interactive booth to explore fun science, math, and literacy activities inspired by your favorite PBS Kids programs! Kids and families will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, receive fun giveaways, and discover how they can connect with beloved KPBS Kids characters like Clifford, Curious George, Daniel Tiger, Elinor Wonders Why, and Molly of Denali throughout the year!

AXEIS

Join us at the AXEIS STEM Carts booth for a fast-paced, hands-on STEM adventure! Build mini-robots, experiment with circuits, explore chemistry reactions, code with micro:bits, and challenge yourself with our student-created science missions. Fun, quick, and creative — perfect for all ages! Every participant will receive a FREE take-home STEM kit to continue exploring science at home!

San Diego State University

San Diego State University representatives from science and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch live sea animals, code your own bracelet, build neurons out of pipe cleaners, explore the solar system in virtual reality and more! Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

Urban Discovery Academy

Visitors will utilize problem solving and learn engineering concepts by using playdough and basic circuit components to activate lightbulbs and fans. Squishy Circuits will be used to teach basic concepts of electrical circuits, using conductive and insulating play dough. Our student leaders will lead robot races with visiting families while they showcase their lego robots.

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.

Fusion Education Incorporation

Fusion FTC will showcase our competitive engineering program through an interactive robotics booth. Visitors can explore our robot up close, learn how we design mechanisms using CAD and coding, and talk with team members about the engineering design process used in First Tech Challenge. Our booth will feature live robot demonstrations, explanations of sensors and game strategy, and a sign-up station for upcoming robotics classes and workshops.

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.

MilliporeSigma

The Curiosity Cube is a mobile science lab that offers interactive experiments with the goal of increasing access to science education for students aged 8-13. The program includes five Cubes across North America, Europe and Africa, extending our impact beyond the classroom to reach students at schools and families at public events. Local MilliporeSigma employees and partners lead the experiments, allowing students to learn from “real-life” scientists and explore STEM careers.
