Roosevelt Middle School MESA GTT
Tensegrity-Tension and integrity. 6 popsicle sticks, and 6 rubber bands and you have a tensegrity model.
Mad Science Spin, Pop, Boom Performance
Spin, Pop, Boom! – Learn about crazy chemical reactions, the amazing properties of acids and bases, and the greatness of gravity! Discover the forces that act on roller coasters as we simulate what happens when they spin upside down. See combustion in action as our roaring exothermic reaction lights up the stage. We’ll also create a colorful chemical reaction rainbow as we introduce acids and bases. In our finale, brave volunteers will help activate an enormous erupting foam volcano!
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Awesome hands-on science activities representing different parts of the Thermo Fisher Scientific business for students of all ages!
Sally Ride Science @ UC San Diego
In this interactive science experiment, kids AND adults will get the opportunity to create a "Glowie". A “glowie” is a molded plastic glowing object. We’ll make the glowies with a safe, non-toxic, low temperature thermoplastic which is malleable when melted and clear like hot glue. It melts in tea water so it won't burn you, and will stay soft for a couple of minutes while it's warm to the touch. To make it glow we place an LED in it while its soft and attach a coin cell battery.

Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.
San Diego County Credit Union
20x10 space, a pop-up canopy and our inflatable SDCCU cash cube. We feature our iSnap photo booth so attendees can take a picture with fun props and the SD Festival of Science & Engineering logo. We promote financial services and information at our outdoor display counter and feature our interactive credit union/financial literacy trivia question board. We will give away promo giveaways to trivia winners.
