San Diego Padres

Visit the San Diego Padres booth for an interactive, educational experience that brings baseball science to life. Guests can explore fun questions like “Does a heavier ball travel faster or slower when you throw it?” and learn how physics, technique, and athletic performance come together on the field. Try out our inflatable bullpen to test your throwing skills, grab a small Padres giveaway, and sign up to learn more about our educational tours.

Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE)

Join CCOE, CAREERworks and National Foundation for Autism Research (NFAR) for fun and engaging hands-on challenges designed to help students get cyber ready! “Build a Computer” – students will match and assemble hardware components to understand how computer systems work. This activity is aligned with the CompTIA A+ certification, which is part of the IT training we provide in our programs. “Spot the Hacker” – a phishing game where students review sample emails and decide whether they are legitimate or malicious.

We will demonstrate many of the physical science aspects of nuclear fusion, including: electricity, magnetism, differential pressure, and low temperature fluids. The presentation will serve to bridge the gap between what the audience already knows and how scientists use that knowledge to operate the nation's largest fusion tokamak.
