Hologic
We will need 4 to 6 tables.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
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.
Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair
Members of the Student Leadership Board of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair will perform high interest, safe STEM demonstrations. Backboards from the GSDSEF will be on display and students will answer any questions about participating in the GSDSEF.
Gaming Your Way Through the Immune System!
Come join UCSD's BMES Outreach committee as we teach you how your immune system fights off nasty invaders! Hear our short presentation and play our homemade video games that take you through the journey of a pathogen in the body!
Each session will be around 30 minutes, and kids will have access to our custom in-browser videogames featuring the innate and adaptive aspects of the immune system!
Real World Applications of Bioengineering with UCSD
Have you ever wanted to learn more about some cool applications of bioengineering? Come join the Bioengineering Graduate Society at UCSD as we talk about two different bioengineering topics: bacteriophages and chromatography
Bacteria and viruses are known to cause many different diseases, but bioengineers can “reprogram” these microorganisms to get them to help us instead of hurt us. Join us as we explain how a certain type of virus called “bacteriophages” can be engineered to fight bacterial infections and how it saved the life of one of our own faculty members!
STEAM Week Live Main Stage
The San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering, presented by the Illumina Foundation, will be fully virtual this year from April 24-May 2 on lovestemsd.org.
The Live Main Stage event is from 10am-6pm on Tuesday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 28 with fun and interactive STEAM activities, a special Women in STEAM event as well as a COVID-19 conversation for kids and teens.
Scripps Research Community Symposium
The Scripps Research Community Symposium is a public event that invites the community — K-12 teachers, high school students, families with children, community college students, and more — to meet our scientists, hear from our graduate students, and interact with our science in fun and engaging ways. This year expect topics in circadian rhythm, covid19, citizen science initiatives and much much more.
ScienceING Chats
Meet scientists and engineers live over Zoom for a Q&A about their work, what inspired them to get into the world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and much more. Engaging 15-20-minute videos will be posted in advance showcasing what each professional does in his or her work and discoveries and inventions they've made this last year.
