The EcoLogik Institute
In collaboration with Traveling Miss T. (@travelingmisst on instagram), The EcoLogik Institute (based out of Cabrillo National Monument) presents Cabrillo National Monument math maps! Travel by coordinate plane to learn about the environment, wildlife, and history of Cabrillo National Monument. Students will also have to opportunity to try their hand at wildlife monitoring with simulated science activities led by real National Park Service biologists!
San Diego City College
Hands-on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences, and Engineering
National University
Make connections between the natural world and artistic expression. Includes 3D models of human anatomy, animal life, and fun with geology and rocks.
San Diego County Office of Education
SDCOE's science outreach programs provide students the opportunity to examine scientific phenomena and principles through innovative, inquiry-based, standards-driven activities. These hands-on activities engage students of all ages on topics such as why a healthy environment is important to sustainable plant production, watershed issues, and how geology tells the planet's story.

Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Our booth demonstrates the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discusses the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outlines the ease of production. Our booth includes CAICE researchers who provide demonstrations concerning climate change and atmospheric chemistry. We also partner with Algenesis who demonstrate biodegradable materials that mimic plastics and foams.
The San Diego River Park Foundation
Discover the vital species of the San Diego River’s riparian ecosystem. Explore the diverse plant and animal life and their crucial roles in maintaining the environment's health and balance. Explore how birds, bats, bees, and butterflies act as ecosystem engineers. See how wildlife builders contribute to pollination, pest control, and biodiversity, supporting ecosystem health. Explore bio-indicator species to understand how aquatic life helps monitor and maintain a healthy ecosystem.
Sally Ride Science @ UC San Diego
The Sally Ride Science Academy offers fascinating and fun STEAM workshops for students entering grades 3 through 12. Our online and in-person workshops let students investigate coding, acting, space science, marine biology and more, as they immerse themselves in hands-on projects. Top-notch STEAM instructors incorporate real-life stories of vibrant women conducting research in each field inspiring students and making STEAM careers more accessible.
