e2 Young Engineers SDC
We are LEGO-Based STEM Education
UCSD Scientista and Graduate/Undergraduate bioinformatics council (GBIC/UBIC)
Science and LEGO! Through hands-on interactive games, our booth will focus on exposing students to the wonders of bioinformatics and computational genomics. We will have a Lego-DNA sequencer, and we will allow students to 'generate' the DNA of the monster they draw. They will see the process of sequencing DNA through this game, and gain some understanding of Next-Generation Sequencing technology. We believe this game will spark the students’ interests in biology, bioinformatics, and science! LEG
Airgas
We will be making liquid nitrogen ice cream as well as other, interactive activities with liquid nitrogen and dry ice.
UCSD Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research
The booth will have information regarding our novel research around nutrition and physical activity. We will have a sugar demo to show the amount of sugar in certain drinks. We will also have a fun activity regarding neurobiology and the parts of the brain that function when eating.
Algae Academy
The Algae Academy booth will allow attendees the opportunity to see algae in action! The booth will be equipped with microscopes connected to a projector that will allow attendees to see algae up close with the help of our “Algae Experts”. After attendees get a quick lesson in Algae 101, they will receive their own mini Algae Academy Kit that will allow them to grow their own algae at home! The kit includes a guided experiment, live algae, necessary consumables and contact info for support.
Don't Try This at Home!
Don't Try This at Home! is an exciting, live show that explore science that is too bold, too noisy, and too shocking to do at home! Experience science through a thrilling performance filled with interactive demonstrations.
City of San Diego, Public Utilities Department
Spinning Wheel - What should and should not go Down the Drain.
Pure Water San Diego
We have an interactive Jeopardy style game called "Water You Know" with prizes awarded for each level. The topics include questions about our local and imported water supply, water challenges, conservation and more.
Frontier Water Systems, LLC.
Frontier Water Systems will demonstrate some of the engineering and design which goes into the creation of our equipment and Bioreactors. We will also show how these are used in the treatment and removal of selenium, nitrate and heavy metals from water that may then be returned to our lakes and rivers. FWS employs innovative Engineers from many disciplines such as Electrical, Computer, Chemical, and Mechanical. We hope to inspire young Engineers to help with our future needs of clean water.
American Chemical Society - Student Affiliates at UCSD
Come and learn about how green chemistry is changing the field of chemistry. Green chemistry focuses on designing products and processes that minimize hazards and environmental impacts to make the field of chemistry more sustainable.
