Our booth will showcase our 2025 project displays, swag & a TBC interactive project

County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health & Quality

The interactive booth will allow attendees to better understand some of the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Programs. Interactive dry ice demonstrations are designed to help attendees better understand some of the chemical hazards faced by our emergency responders on the Hazardous Incident Response Team. Attendees will also be able to learn about the beach water quality monitoring program and the tools available to ensure their safety when entering recreational waters.

County of San Diego Vector Control Program

With Live Well San Diego

We will have a collection of samples of the mosquito lifecycle to be viewed by microscope or magnifying glasses in order to learn about where mosquitoes come from. We typically try to bring some live samples when they are available. We have a mock back backyard setup to provide examples of places that can hold water and breed mosquitoes. This interactive display helps people understand how to prevent mosquitoes and bites and stay protected from diseases.

I Love A Clean San Diego

ILACSD will provide resources related to environmental education on behalf of the City of San Diego. We'll have information about proper waste sorting and where/how to dispose of different types of items. We will have a game for people to sort items into: recycling, trash, and compost, including tricky items like aerosol cans, plastic wrappers, tissue paper, and sticky notes. Many people thoroughly enjoy playing this game and learning about why each item is disposed of a particular way.

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!

J. Craig Venter Institute

JCVI is at the forefront of genomics, striving to unravel the complexities of the biological world to improve global health. At our booth, explore how plastic accumulates in the food chain—from small fragments in microbes and other tiny organisms to fish and, eventually, us. Learn about how our scientists are tackling the problem of plastic pollution, the power of microbes, and the effect of both on the ocean. Join us for insights at the intersection of genomics and environmental challenges.
