Primary tabs
Elementary Institute of Science
The Elementary Institute of Science offers affordable, hands-on STEM education for students in 2nd-8th grade for academic enrichment. We will have a fun, interactive science activity for kids to take home. We will have STEM related items on display, and will also be promoting Spring and Summer Programs.
Lilly
Lilly will offer a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting pre-K, grad and middle school. Attendees will walk through different learning stations revolving around the concept of DNA structure and function, and effect of its modifications in biological models. Temporary tattoos, other giveaways will be available.
American Heart Association
Hands-Only CPR education with manikins for students to learn on.
Boz Institute Life Science Research and Teaching Institute
The individual or group activity “Evolution Quest: From Cell to Species” is a fun, multi-stage mental and physical exercise: participants create an animal cell using fun props; applying molecular biology concepts learned in real-time, they generate DNA, assemble amino-acids, and make a peptide; using a genetic sequence comparison, they finally decide which species the structure belongs to. Besides knowledge, the award includes a Boz lab souvenir delivered by lab’s lab (certified service dog).
Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair
The Student Leadership Board of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair is planning simple, safe, hands-on science activities to engage students in grades K-12. They will also coordinate a "crowd source" activity, where the more participants, the more accurate the data. Each participant will provide a data point for the activity.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Our booth will consist of a few stations. One station the guests will build replica lungs in a cup using plastic cups and balloons to understand the effects of Cystic Fibrosis in the lungs. To help make this point we will also have a mini lung display hooked up to a computer monitor. At another station guests will make slime.
American Physical Therapy Association
Interactive activities at our booth will include life size, anatomically correct puzzles of the human skeletal and muscular systems for attendees to put together.
Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.
Booth representing Neurocrine with 20-30 staff as volunteers throughout the day. Will have activities and experiments for the kids, plus giveaways. Will also have staff on hand to answer questions about Neurocrine.
Marine Genome Project
The Marine Genome Project focuses on using genetic tools for marine conservation efforts, while increasing diversity, inclusion and accessibility to marine science. Participants can extract DNA from strawberries, assemble the genome of fish, build an underwater kelp forest, go on a virtual scuba dive, and help scientist identify different species living in the ocean
