The 2009 San Diego Science Festival (SDSF) is the first and largest celebration of its kind on the West Coast. Celebrating this year’s theme, “The Science of You,” the Festival will provide 500+ free and entertaining science outreach activities to Greater San Diego County throughout the month of March. Programs include on-site activities at local schools, once-in-a-lifetime field trips, and science workshops at local businesses and research facilities suitable for all ages.
The Festival concludes with Expo Day in Balboa Park on Saturday, April 4, 2009. On Expo Day, science takes over the museums, cultural centers, and the central corridor of Balboa Park with over 300 hands-on activities, demonstrations, experiments, contests, and performances.
SD Space, The Mars Society – San Diego, OCSS, and Spaceport Academy will all have booths during Expo Day. The SD Space booth will feature rocket launches and a space elevator. The Mars Society booth will feature the Mars Rovers and a full-scale MarsPod.
