Education

The STEAM Maker Recycled Fashion and Engineering Challenges. Students in graded 5-12 will compete in this head-to-head competition to build a costume or device inspired by the STAR WARS Steampunk Universe. When complete team members will answer questions from the judges as they walk the runway with their creation.

The Recycling Information Booth provides information on waste reduction techniques such as recycling and composting. Information is also available on identification and proper disposal of commercial waste, household hazardous waste, and construction debris. The booth is a collaborative effort between the San Diego County Office of Education and the City of San Diego Environmental Services Department. Interactive games are featured teaching recycling rules in San Diego and general information on waste reduction.

Lakeshore Learning is your one-stop shop for STEM materials! Visit our booth for fun crafts and demonstrations!

C2 Education will provide an interactive Jeopardy game that offers students and parents the opportunity to answer grade level questions in SAT subject matter including Math, Reading and Writing. Every participant will receive a certificate for a free academic consultation and be entered into a drawing for prizes to be awarded during the course of the expo.

We will have Lego Mindstorms Robots that families can learn how to program on our laptops. We will also have information regarding our Clubhouse , programming workshops, and events that we sponsor (for example, the San Diego County Fair's Robotics competitions.)

We will set up a display of our alternative garden systems (four vegetable towers ) as well as demonstrate our plan to host a community farmer's Market 1-2 times per month. There is also another student who will set up a video / prototype model of a "soccer shoe cooling device." We would like to request a 10x20 space if possible.

The booth will incorporate several different hands-on activities (yet to be determined, but we have ideas flowing!) that incorporate engineering. Testing is in our nature and we are eager to share this with our community. When do things break? Why does a glass break at a different frequency than a brick? Why does ice melt at a different temperature than plastic? These are the kinds of questions we love to explore and find ways to improve performance of products and packaging.
