Destination Imagination
TBD
Viasat
Curious about artificial intelligence and machine learning? Stop by the Viasat booth to see how your portrait will be drawn using AI and ML and understand how Viasat, Inc. uses AI across the company to create efficiencies and scale our business.
La Jolla Institute for Immunology
We will review how your body develops immunity with antibodies. Visitors will cut out paper antibodies to discuss how they relate to COVID-19 and vaccines. Visitors will construct a replica of a virus to explain the structure of viruses like COVID-19. Separately, we will bring a prepared petri dish sealed with bacteria expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) contained in a dark box. Visitors will shine a UV flashlight on the dish to see the bacteria glow. We will discuss GFP and immunology.
National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) San Diego Chapter
A description of NDIA's participation in STEM activities including robotics and Cybersecurity.
A computer slide show of NDIA STEM events with pictures of robotic/cybersecurity team and student involvement
A display of a robotic vehicle programmed with neopixel light sequences and one with a 6 DOF manipulator mounted on top.
Two vehicles programmed with joystick control for limited student participation.
A bench top display of an undersea Remotely Operated Vehicle.
San Diego Public Library
The Library will be promoting our Spring into STEAM free programs for youth ages 9-12. Our interactive activities will be archeology and paleontology themed to go with our Spring into STEAM theme, Dig In!
We will also do library card sign ups and hand out STEM themed swag.
General Atomics/Energy/Fusion
Highly interactive booth covering fundamentals of states of matter, magnetism, pressure and forces, and other interesting physical science-based phenomena.
American Chemical Society Student Affiliates at UC San Diego
We will be doing a demonstration of a chemical reaction commonly known as "Foam Monsters". It uses polyutherane foam which rises and hardens inside a cup, creating a "foamy monster effect". Participants can add decorations of their choice while the foam is hardening and can take it home, while learning about exothermic reactions. None of the chemical used are toxic, and adequate safety protocols will be implemented. The initial chemical mixing will be done by us, then given to participants.
Magnolia Science Academy
Magnolia Science Academy is a California Distinguished School. MSA is a public, charter STEAM focused middle school serving San Diego since 2005. Our robotics students and teachers will be engaging guests by allowing them to try coding activities and operate remote controlled Vex IQ robots and even complete a VEX competition challenge!
Magnolia Science Academy
Magnolia Science Academy is a California Distinguished School. MSA is a public, charter STEAM focused middle school serving San Diego since 2005. Our student ambassadors and teachers will be engaging guests through several hands-on, interactive science experiments/activities such as elephant toothpaste, biome diorama, chemical reaction experiments and molecule sticks. In addition to hands-on science activities, we will also provide our guests with cool, interactive art and math activities.
UC San Diego Physics Department
Hands on physics demonstrations and activities for all ages.
