Pre-K

SDCOE

The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) is committed to ensuring that every student has access and opportunities to thrive and learn in the classroom and beyond. As part of that effort, SDCOE regularly connects students and educators across the region with industry partners so they can explore high-wage, high-growth careers and plan for their future success. SDCOE's booth will feature hands-on activities from the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters and the Electrical Training Institute apprenticeships.

Think Blue San Diego/City of San Diego's Stormwater Department

The Think Blue activation would showcase SWEEP-E -- the City of San Diego's first 100% electric mini street sweeper -- and give attendees the opportunity to climb behind the wheel. Giveaways would include SWEEP-E stickers and coloring pages/crayons for younger students. Older students with phones will be asked to take an educational stormwater quiz (via a QR code) in order to spin a wheel to win a prize (lunch boxes, dog bags, pet bowls, water bottles, etc.)

Cue Health

Cue is on a mission to help people live their healthiest lives with diagnostics-enabled health solutions for preventive, acute, and chronic care management.

Our interactive booth will offer an activity where festival-goers can visualize electrophoresis through paper chromatography.

Lilly will offer a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting pre-K, 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, other giveaways will be available.
