Pre-K

La Jolla Institute for Immunology

We will review how your body develops immunity with antibodies. Visitors will be able to do antibody puzzles to discuss how they relate to viruses and vaccines. Separately, we will bring a prepared petri dish sealed with bacteria expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) contained in a dark box. Visitors will shine a UV flashlight on the dish to see the bacteria glow. We will discuss the utility of GFP in immunology research.

MilliporeSigma

The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container, transformed into a mobile science lab. It features interactive hands-on science experiments using the latest technology to spark curiosity in the next generation of scientists. The Curiosity Cube program began in North America in 2017 as a platform to increase access to science education for 8-13 year old students. Our experiments are led by local MilliporeSigma employees, giving students an opportunity to learn from real scientists.
