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!
Club for the Future
Earth is finite. To protect our gem of a planet and enable a future of abundance and growth, Earth needs space. Write or draw your vision on a postcard for what you think the future will look like—or any other message you’d like to send to space. Send your postcard to Club for the Future, we'll launch it to space and back on a New Shepard rocket, stamp it "Flown to Space," and return it to you. Send us as many postcards as you'd like—we'll fly them all!
Mad Science of San Diego
Discovery Fun Stations: hands-on activities that allow them to further explore science concepts.
• NASA: Lazer Maze – Discover technologies created for space travel! Test your aim with a laser maze
• NASA Space Station – Discover technologies created for space travel! Buil
• MAGNETISM – Kids try to build a bridge using metal objects and strong magnets on wooden pegs.
• ECSTATIC ELECTRICITY – Kids try to make their way through a metal maze without making the buzzer go off.
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.
Star Dust
Star Dust Live blends hip hop, science, and storytelling to show we are all connected through star dust. Using STEAM lessons, music, and dance, the show inspires unity, curiosity, and self-love. Performed for ASTC, SmartLab Oakland, and the Fleet Science Center, with upcoming shows at Chabot (2026) and a new Virginia science center (2027).
Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, UC San Diego
Join the astrophysicists of UC San Diego as they take you on an out-of-this world journey into the cosmos! Our booth will feature interactive demonstrations including build-your-own telescope, look through a real telescope at the Sun, cratering the Moon, the Solar System in Petco Park, make your own gravitational wave, and more! Guests of all ages can enjoy our activities!
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
Join the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s educators for fun-filled art-making. Inspired by the works in the museum’s collection create your own planets and galaxies using spin art.
Physics-based
We will illustrate some fundamental science concepts from nuclear fusion research using lively demonstrations in electromagnetism, states of matter (liquid nitrogen), differential pressure, and more. We will encourage yearning to learn and discuss large-scale energy needs and the possibility of fusion on earth as an energy basis.
