UTC Aerospace Systems
A look at the design and manufacturing of composite aerospace products with focus on our key product line: nacelles (the structure that surrounds an airplane's engines).
Hologic, Inc.
Silver sponsor 10x40 booth, 4 tables, 4 chairs. We'd like to have our booth in the same general location as last year but not directly in front of main stage. On the side of Park in the park facing 10th Ave (we were there a couple years back) is acceptable as well.
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Visitors will enjoy a number of exciting hands-on bio-tech and life science activities geared for children (and adults) of all ages. Learn from, and meet, employees of the world leader in serving science, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Explore DNA and what makes all living specimens unique while standing next to a life-size DNA double helix.
City of San Diego Public Utilities Department, Pure Water Program
Information on the City of San Diego's Pure Water Program. We will have a water quiz trivia game and free giveaway items for kids.
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.
San Diego Mesa College STEM Conexiones
*We have 2 Barobo Kits (computer operated robots) that people can try out, and we have kits they can replicate. *We also have a Mitosis Kit, and attendees can learn about and identify the stages. *We have different games about perception, memory, etc., that we can conduct. *We will have participants build a bridge using supplies such as craft sticks or blocks, etc. (All of these are activities for both children and adults.)
Project Concern International (PCI)
Materials and activities to promote the 2018 Walk for Water, Sunday, April 22, at Tecolote Shores on Mission Bay.
General Atomics/energy
Demonstrations of states of matter, including high temperature plasma and low temperature cryogens; eddy current production & magnetism, including a levitating magnet; human powered electricity generation, plus discussions of the physics of nuclear fusion will be presented.
From vacuum to volcanoes - nature's drive to mix it up!
Making matter move is nature's way of mixing it up and allowing chemical, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and gravitational interactions to occur. We'll demonstrate movement due to changes in vacuum conditions, formation of magnetic fields from inductive currents, and volcanic action. We will use a vacuum cannon, electromagnetic can launcher, and a demonstration of the coldest volcano on earth to show how nature mixes it up!
National Marine Mammal Foundation
As part of our commitment to education, the National Marine Mammal Foundation participates in outreach efforts at local San Diego schools and public events. By educating children and the community about our exciting marine mammal discoveries, we hope to inspire future generations for years to come. Science education is incredibly important, and we hope to do our part by exposing students to the unique and rewarding work that we do with the animals.
