Join us at Petco Park on Saturday, March 4th for a day full of FREE, FUN SCIENCE! From 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. the park will be packed with over 130 different hands-on activities showcasing STEM for participants of all ages!
We will be conducting a pH color change experiment using a pH indicator of boiled cabbage and small amounts of various household items as test samples. Participants may partake in choosing samples to test, and each iteration of the experiment is expected to take 1 minute per sample tested. This allows each participant to test a number of different samples and analyze them according to a provided visual to determine acidity and basicity and learn about the pH scale.
Lilly Biotechnology Center will provide information about DNA and proteins, and how antibodies can be used to treat diseases like COVID-19.
We will have sheep brains for participants to hold and examine, and ~20 animal brains to try to match the the animal in a guessing game!
Informational booth regarding county of san diego department of parks and recreation; Waterfront Park
Booth with fun activists for people of all ages showing how to extract DNA from strawberries, scuba diving equipment used to collect tissue samples from marine species, along with other activities relating to marine science and underwater exploration
We will have a Heart Rate activity designed for all ages and CPR demonstration.
A hands-on robotics demonstration where children of all ages can operate and drive small robots while learning about STEM concepts.
It takes true community spirit and engagement to build a successful Festival Week and momentum to support ongoing programs. Our mission is to provide meaningful year-round STEAM experiences for youth and adults alike in San Diego, and throughout the state of CA through our virtual platform.
