Primary tabs
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Visitors will have the opportunity to construct a lung model and learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. Visitors will also be able to make some fake mucous (aka slime) and learn why this sticky mucous clogs the lungs. Scientists will demonstrate how Cl- channels work and everyone will have the chance at winning their very own Cl- ball.
Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego's booth will host a variety of activities that come from the diverse set of STEM programming we currently offer across our clubhouses. This includes such topics and Nanotechnology, Biology, Physics, Food science, Electronics and Robotics.
Brain Development Imaging Lab at San Diego State University
The Brain Development Imaging Lab at SDSU studies both typical and atypical brain development, with a specific focus on understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). At our booth, visitors will have the opportunity to see images of the brain, learn about brain function, and learn how various brain imaging techniques, including MRI, MEG, and EEG, work and what they reveal about the brain. They will do this through kid friendly activities involving model brains, coloring worksheets, and videos!
MilliporeSigma
Converted shipping container, turned science lab. Full length, with ADA accessable ramp is ~30 ft. long x 10ft wide. Inside the container we'll be running 3 experiments, primarily tied to the "unseen world" (what we cannot see with our naked eye, but can with the help of technology and microscopes) and DNA. If possible, we'd also like a space next to the container for a portable tent that could function as additional activity space.
Point Loma Nazarene University
Our booth will feature interactive activities for children K-8, dealing with topics in biology, chemistry and physics
Catalyst for Success
We will have interactive science experiments that range from chemical reactions to physical science demonstrations to biology concepts. The booth will involve attendees by helping them conduct the experiments for themselves, therefore letting them experience the wonders of science firsthand. Our members will provide information about why and how the experiments work in order to foster a passion for science, and give the attendees context to what they are doing.
Illumina Foundation
Join a team from Illumina to explore the world of genomics and what it means to understand your genome. Activities include making personalized necklaces based on codons, dressing like a scientists and learning how genomics can help prevent the spread of an outbreak.
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Our dynamic booth, with a 13 ft DNA strand in its center, will host multiple hands on science activities that will allow participants to learn more about molecular biology and chemistry.
BP America
BP STEM program;
Liquid rainbow experiment;
Scientists and engineers from BP Biosciences Center will discuss STEM career opportunities with students.
