Interactive activities at our booth will include life size, anatomically correct puzzles of the human skeletal and muscular systems for attendees to put together.

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.

Bring your robot to life by learning how to code! Create your own program, press play and watch your robot carry out the action! Try your hand at drawing with 3D pens - a combination of art and technology!

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

The STEMusic Concert is a high energy concert full of songs and lessons all about STEM! Students will have a chance to watch live experiments, practice solving math problems and learn STEM vocabulary all while being entertained with incredible music. Roy Moye III, also known as "The Singing Engineer", puts on an engaging show with live singing and participation moments that transport students to a STEM universe with songs that will begin to change the narrative on how they experience STEM!

Brain-themed coloring and mazes, brain trivia games, Stroop effect demonstration (kids say the color of the word, not what the word says), pipe cleaner neuron activity (kids make a neuron out of pipe cleaner and plastic beads to take home)

Student clubs and outreach organizations from San Diego State University will provide engaging and interactive demonstrations and activities for students and families of all ages. From rocket launches and racecars to marine animals and sound waves, audiences will learn directly from SDSU students in science and engineering about their favorite subjects.

We are planning to present a hands-on virtual reality experience (using DPR Construction’s own kid-friendly cardboard headsets) that lets visitors, using their own cell phones, follow a URL to a real 3D Building Information Model hosted in the Cloud. The general experience is meant to demonstrate how technology helps our teams bring 2D construction plans to life. We also have some kid-friendly activities such as scavenger hunts and clash detection searches that we can have them participate in, depending on timing.

Visitors will launch a rocket, study the amazing properties of water, view microscopic life forms and write a secret message with the magic of science. These hands-on demos will share basic concepts in chemistry, biology, and physics using safe and readily available materials. Booth visitors will be eligible for a free registration to the Pittcon Conference and Exposition which will be held in San Diego in February 2024.

Two presenters will provide lively demonstrations on states of matter, electricity & magnetism, force & pressure - these are science categories we use in our nuclear fusion research work. The demonstrations could include: liquid nitrogen, magnetic can launcher, Tesla coil, bed-of-nails, steel can differential pressure crush.
