Empresa Performing Arts Foundation with Play-Well TEKnologies

We would love to run a LEGO STEM activity for the booth. We would have a few types of catapults made completely of LEGO that kids can use to try to make a projectile into different baskets. We can discuss the potential energy that is released via a spring. We will also have a lever actioned catapult that will launch the projectile based on the force from the kid on the lever.

Hands-On Technology Education

Hands-On Technology Education proudly features interactive, tech adventure demos featuring: virtual reality, e-Sports, robotics, game design & CoreSTEAM, and coding + electronics! Our various activity stations will preview what is offered year-round via our signature Tech Adventure Programs during summer camps, after-school programs, & professional development.

Science Guys of San Diego

Are you ready to experience hair-raising electricity?! Participte in ELECRIFYING experiments with our Van de Graaff Generator and Tesla Coil! Get charged up and experience a CRAZY chain shock! Turn on a lightbulb without plugging it in! Levitate tinsel like a magician! Make aluminum pans fly high in the air! Experience this and so much more with the Science Guys of San Diego!

JCVI

JCVI is at the forefront of genomics, striving to unravel the complexities of the biological world to improve global health. At our booth, explore how plastic accumulates in the food chain—from small fragments in microbes and other tiny organisms to fish and, eventually, us. Learn about how our scientists are tackling the problem of plastic pollution, the power of microbes, and the effect of both on the ocean. Join us for insights at the intersection of genomics and environmental challenges.

ITJ

ITJ's Computer Scientists will be manning the booth and work with kids to create Binary Code Bracelets. They're use colored beads to represent 0s and 1s, allowing them to create bracelets with a secret message in binary.

San Diego County Vector Control Program

The Vector Control program will provide an experience to view real-life samples of the mosquito life cycle under microscopes. You will get to see what each stage looks like and what you should look out for in your own backyard to prevent mosquito breeding. Mosquitofish will also be on display! There will be many free giveaways including pencils, insect repellent, mosquito activity books, stickers, and more!

UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society

Students will learn the structure and function of neurons and the role of electric signals in the brain/central nervous system. A visual board explaining synapse firing, neuron anatomy, and resulting brain function (muscle movement, visual processing, etc) will sit at our table. A plasma ball will sit in the middle of the poster, acting as an easy and stimulating demonstration of how electricity plays a key role in the brain. Students can touch the plasma ball and simulate electrical signaling.
