See germs glow on your hands and how to properly wash them clean! Rub a small amount of a fluorescent gel on your hands to simulate germs when seen under ultra-violet light. Then wash your hands and let the ultra-violet light reveal how well you did!
Bioengineering applications such as genetic engineering and organ modeling.
Play Math! is an interactive space for families to play with shapes, patterns, and puzzles. Participants can look for new ways to fit blocks into a hexagon, create a new object with SOMA blocks, or use a pattern machine to look for the longest path. Specific activities may rotate, but they all have one thing in common - they offer an opportunity to play math!
TaylorMade will offer a fun interactive putter demonstration and golf ball trajectory experiment.
County of San Diego resources and hand washing activity. Resources will include but not limited to: mental health, environmental health, COVID-19, Live Well San Diego, homelessness, CalFresh, 2-1-1, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, etc.
