Middle School

National Defense Industrial Association

Unmanned Ground Vehicles, undersea Remotely Operated Vehicle, Factory Automation/Home Security Analog Acquisition System, Artificial Intelligence Display and a Cyber Wheel Quiz. We will describe the STEM benefits of these systems as well as the technology and operation.
We will supervise children as they drive our new joystick operated, low-profile Pathfinder Gen 3 vehicles.
WE will also sponsor the Robotics Roundup.

County Parks and Recreation - Live Well San Diego

Our rangers will be showing specimens of San Diego’s common animal species. Participants will be able to touch animal pelts, see real taxidermy and learn about local wildlife! Our Animal Ambassador Raptor Team will also be onsite. Learn what these birds of prey look like up close, where they live, what they eat, how they hunt and what survival skills they’ve picked up over time, to help them thrive in San Diego’s diverse environments.

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.

Lilly

Lilly will offer a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting grad and middle school. Attendees will walk through different learning stations revolving around the concepts of molecule structure and function, and the effect of their modifications in biological models. Temporary tattoos or other giveaways will be available.

U.S. Naval Academy

Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages. The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM topics including chemistry, logic and buoyancy.

ISACA San Diego

ISACA global is a nonprofit with 1800,000 members worldwide. ISACA provides educational and professional development resources to its members, and we represent the local ISACA San Diego chapter. We offer free memberships to students, and at the event we'll be giving literature, explaining who the organization is, what we offer. We are also available to help provide insights to anyone interested in a cybersecurity or cyber audit career.
