Pre-K

Urban Discovery Academy

Visitors will utilize problem solving and learn engineering concepts by using playdough and basic circuit components to activate lightbulbs and fans. Squishy Circuits will be used to teach basic concepts of electrical circuits, using conductive and insulating play dough. Our student leaders will lead robot races with visiting families while they showcase their lego robots.

SDAALAS - (San Diego branch) American Association for Laboratory Animal Science

We will have our mouse mascot available for pictures. plenty of swag and informational handouts, visual demonstrations on husbandry, possible origami mice and frogs.

Collins Aerospace

Explore the world of aerospace materials through a hands-on show and tell featuring real components, specifically mock ups of aircraft nacelles. Put your engineering skills to the test with our paper folding and flight-throwing competition.

U.S.Naval Academy

Midshipmen mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages, The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM activities including chemistry, electricity, logic, code breaking, and buoyancy.

SYSTRA IBT

Test your knowledge of bridges as our engineers demonstrate the concepts of bridge engineering using scale models built with K'NEX blocks. Visitors will discover how bridges are designed and built and learn how they, too, can become bridge engineers.

Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, UC San Diego

Join the astrophysicists of UC San Diego as they take you on an out-of-this world journey into the cosmos! Our booth will feature interactive demonstrations including build-your-own telescope, look through a real telescope at the Sun, cratering the Moon, the Solar System in Petco Park, make your own gravitational wave, and more! Guests of all ages can enjoy our activities!

Fusion Education Incorporation

Fusion FTC will showcase our competitive engineering program through an interactive robotics booth. Visitors can explore our robot up close, learn how we design mechanisms using CAD and coding, and talk with team members about the engineering design process used in First Tech Challenge. Our booth will feature live robot demonstrations, explanations of sensors and game strategy, and a sign-up station for upcoming robotics classes and workshops.

Empresa Performing Arts Foundation with Play-Well TEKnologies

Interactive LEGO booth with building. We are still planning the specific activity but will have more information closer to the event.

Fusion Education Incorporation

At Fusion’s booth, visitors can explore our student-designed robots from both the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) programs, learn how we use engineering, coding, and teamwork to solve real-world problems, and watch our hands-on robot demonstrations. Our team will showcase projects, share experiences from competitions, and provide information about classes, workshops, and programs where kids can get involved in robotics.
