High School

We plan to showcase an experiment of research that reflects our work at SBP, in a creative and educational way that appeals to children of all ages. We are determining the theme now. There will be science-based giveaways and raffle prizes for adults and children, plus we may give out little lab coats as we did last year. (They were a hit!) Our volunteers, scientists. grad students and staff will be there interacting with the children and parents.

Levers and other mechanical engineering demos. Northrop Grumman will be paying the fees for the booth

Our booth gives attendees a chance to learn about robotics and drive robots. We have formerly exhibited under the name Coleman Tech.

The Recycling Information has brochures, fliers, and signage relaying information on waste reduction techniques, such as composting and recycling. An interactive game, "Sponge Bob Basketball," is featured, teaching participants recycling rules for San Diego. Recycle-themed prizes are awarded to players, such as rulers made from boxes, and pencils made from newspaper. Information is also available on proper disposal of hazardous waste and construction and demolition debris.

We will provide a hands-on booth to engage visitors in learning about physics and chemistry through activities focused of the properties of light and lasers with members of OSA-SPIE and how bonds are formed and broken in molecules in an interactive game developed by CaSTL Center.

Pure Water San Diego is the City's phased, multi-year program that will provide one-third of San Diego's water supply locally by 2035. The booth will include educational/informational materials, giveaways and an interactive water quiz board.

Learn about FIRST, how Francis Parker participates in FIRST Robotics culture, and see the 2016 FRC Stronghold robot known as Orion in action.

We will have a series of hands-on instant challenges for kids and adults to solve. Our booth will be colorful, have creative displays and information about our program. Instant Challenges present students with a problem and some common materials (paper clips, paper, envelopes etc.). Students must solve the challenge in a quick and creative way. Destination Imagination's mission is to inspire the next generation of innovators, leaders and creative thinkers.
