Primary tabs
Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
Get closer to science! Guests will be able to explore ocean and earth science through conversation and hands-on activities! Join Birch Aquarium to discover some of the amazing things that go on below the surface of the ocean, on the beach, and sometimes in your own backyard.
Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.
San Diego Coastkeeper
Water education hands-on science lessons. Water pollution detective game, marine debris, and/or watershed model.
Caltech CCI Solar
CCI Solar will present an interactive, hands-on activity where attendees will be able to make their very own solar cell using common household materials. The magic ingredient of blackberry juice is what absorbs the sun's energy and translates sunlight into electricity; therefore we call our activity "Juice from Juice". We also display fuel cells and other recent solar energy technology. We've successfully presented this activity at 2 past Expo Days and look forward to another year!
San Deigo-Imperial Council Boy Scouts of America
The Boy Scouts of America's STEM committee would like to have a booth featuring the NOVA Awards program which incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The hope is that these awards stimulate interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them.
