Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)
Spaghetti towers: participants will be asked to build the tallest tower they can from spaghetti and marshmallows under a set of constraints (i.e. limited building materials, time limit, etc)

To Be Determined
MANA de San Diego
We will have a "spin the wheel" trivia and scratch off cards for the opportunity to win MANASD branded items. We will also be sharing about the different educational programs and community resources MANASD offers.
The Brain Observatory
The star activity is a neurocognitive experiment that exemplifies procedural memory. We give the "subject" a task that they have never done before (tracing a star by only looking at the mirrored image) and see how many errors they produce. We have them try this multiple times to show how their muscle memory is being used as they improve on this task.
Cuyamaca College
3D printing and Mechatronics with Cuyamaca Engineering
Come learn and see how 3D printer’s work! We will have a printer running on our table to give you the opportunity to interact with the device! Additionally, we will be demonstrating the power of mechatronics through interactive use of Arduinos. Come learn how to build a circuit and control the circuit with programming!
Cuyamaca College
Our booth activity aims to engage participants with Kumeyaay Science, fostering a connection between modern scientific principles and traditional knowledge. The booth will feature two engaging activities, each offering a hands-on experience that brings to life the intersection of indigenous wisdom and contemporary science. In essence, our booth activity offers a glimpse into the wisdom of the Kumeyaay people and demonstrates the relevance of their scientific practices in today's world.
Prometheus Laboratories Inc.
What is the best jellybean for you? Have you ever wondered how doctors figure out what treatment works best for you? Prometheus Laboratories proudly features an interactive booth for children and their families to experience providing precision-guided care. We will showcase how these concepts are used in a real-world clinical laboratory setting using fluorescence, color changing solutions, rainbow density columns, and jellybeans!
The Academy of Our Lady of Peace
We will have three interactive displays: Alka Seltzer lava lamp, KidSpark building blocks, and Math24 card game. We will also have physical displays: Pool noodle DNA model (made by Biotech class), Catapult (made by Precalculus classes), and Plant lab display (made by Biotech class).
Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA)
In Marine Corps’ operations, electrical energy is indispensable for the functioning of advanced weapons systems and sensitive electronics on ships and during field missions. Our table will demo several "The World's Simplest Motor". Students see how an electric current running through a coiled wire creates a magnetic field. Two magnetic fields, repelling and attracting each other, can be used to convert the electrical energy of the battery into the mechanical energy of a spinning part.
World of Waves, WOW!
The electromagnetic spectrum will be the star of the show as we use demonstrations to illustrate characteristics of light waves such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. We will present the ways we use light to understand what's going on inside the 150 M K plasmas we produce in our study of nuclear fusion.
