Educator Specific

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.

Live animals and interactive educational props. Lots of hands-on items and fun animals to interact with!

Our booth will demonstrate current research in renewable and solar energy. Participants will get to make their own dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) from blackberry juice and other common household materials. We will also have hands on demos of solar panels, fuel cells, and wind energy. Kids and adults alike have loved playing with and learning about this technology at the past 3 EXPOs and we're excited to share this again at the 10th anniversary!

variety of hands on activities including hydraulics, robotics, aerodynamics. fluids, thermodynamics, and physics principles, demonstrated by midshipmen and faculty from USNA.

Robolink is an education company that teaches children programming and engineering principles with robots and drones. We are striving to nurture the makers, builders, and innovators of the future by learning STEM. We will be demoing our robotics and drone kit, as well as providing simple and easy workshops at our booth to show how we teach programming.

Four booths filled with Science experiments, fun and very interactive.
