EcoVivarium Living Museum will offer EXPLORE & DISCOVER MORE opportunities during normal business hours. Special EXPLORE & DISCOVER MORE will allow visitor an up-close study of different museum Ambassadors each day. Each day offers a new and exciting exploration for visitors.
Experience with Ethical Issues in Cybersecurity Research
The Center for Ethics in Science & Technology provides community forums to promote science that benefits everyone. Join us on March 6, 2019 with guest lecturer, Stefan Savage, Ph.D., Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. Professor Savage will discuss ethics issues in cypersecurity research.
Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project
The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project (GAVRT) is a partnership between NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Lewis Center for Educational Research, a K-12 Charter School in Apple Valley, California. GAVRT trains educators on the basics of radio astronomy, technical topics pertinent to the project’s science observation campaigns, and telescope operations. Once trained, educators schedule time on the radio telescope for their class to collect data on a strong radio source.
How to Research
Sign up for a free hands-on opportunity to learn more about science! During this session, we will do an experiment to help understand how research works, from start to finish. We will also get to explore how new health-related technologies work and how research is involved. You don’t need a background in science or research for this, but please bring any questions you have!
Super Science Saturday
Get your hands wet doing cool science experiments at the Scripps Research Institute’s Community Teaching Lab.
Poster Competition and Research Symposium
Take this opportunity to visit The Scripps Research Institute and walk through a variety of research presentations. Participate and vote for the best Poster presentation and listen to our keynote Speaker.
Code Ninjas
In our booth, our guests will be able to learn about out what Code Ninjas is all about; a new center where kids ages 7-14 can come to have fun while learning how to code. Our guests will be able to see samples of the curriculum we offer and will be able to see demonstrations of flying coding drones, as well as hands-on robot kits that kids can put together to code with simple commands.
United States Naval Academy STEM Center
Engage with midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy while they provide a wide spectrum of hands on STEM modules from a multitude of technical subjects including aerodynamics, chemistry, fluid mechanics, physics, robotics, logic puzzles, electricity, and others.
San Diego Blood Bank
San Diego Blood Bank will present different interactive activities where children will learn about the components of blood. In addition, staff will be handing out informational materials regarding different programs such as becoming a blood donor, the All of Us Research Program, Cord Blood, Cell Therapy.
