*Mollie is sending Deb description of booth early next week - Marketing approving for me now.

We will have an SD Loyal booth as well as one of our partners Catalyst to provide a booth demonstrating recovery strategies for players including elastic bands, stretching, etc. Our Loyal booth will have freebies for the kids including stickers, car flags, squishy balls, as well as an enter to win for people to possibly win free tickets to an upcoming game!

Various SSPPS student organizations may be educating on topics including diabetes, immunizations, poison prevention, asthma/vaping, drug development, drug compounding, and we may possibly provide blood pressure screenings. (We're currently finalizing these topics, we will provide updates as soon as possible.)

Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program will use a 3-D watershed model to demonstrate how surface water run-of and pollution leads to contamination of our beaches and bays. This impact on our recreational waters can affect our health. Also, we plan on demonstrating the various laboratory processes used for water quality testing in our public health lab, which help identify if the water has microbial pathogens.

We will need 4 to 6 tables.

We will have a mechanical lung on display where participants can learn more about Cystic Fibrosis and what it is doing to the human body. Participants will have the chance to build a set of lungs using a plastic cup and balloons. We will also have DNA origami that participants can build. We will also show DNA extraction of a strawberry all while providing instructions for participants to follow at home.

Our booth will have hands-on demos and exciting demonstrations on energy and the states of matter. We'll show everything from the coldest of the cold (liquid nitrogen) to the hottest of the hot (plasmas), and explore how the different states of matter behave when energy is added to them. We look at how magnets react to different materials. We also explore energy generation through a pedal-powered light generator, and discuss how nuclear fusion is the future of green energy.

The booth will include info about mosquitoes & public health. There will be interactive activities where visitors can look at insect samples under microscopes. Visitors will learn about the mosquito life cycle, entomology, and how to stay safe from vector transmitted diseases. There will also be giveaways like pencils, magnets, or magnifiers. Info about other environmental health programs including water quality analysis will also be available. We will try to have a Spanish speaker present.
