Grade School

Attendees can interact with aerospace engineers to learn about the design and production of engine nacelles for commercial and military airplanes. Nacelles are aerodynamic structures that surround an airplane's engine, protecting it and helping to make it greener (more fuel efficient, quieter) and providing stopping power on landing. Attendees can learn how a nacelle system works and get hands-on with many of the materials that go into the nacelles we make for the world's newest airplanes.

Our booth will feature interactive activities for children K-8, dealing with topics in biology, chemistry and physics

No booth - please reference discussion between Sara Pagano and Kaela Osten.

Please give us the same booth location as last year.

One 10' x 30' booth for 3 demos located at Park at the Park
One 10' x 20' booth for Thinkabit Labs Demo located at Palm Court

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.

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.

Our practicing bridge engineers will share their knowledge and passion for structural engineering, which draws on math, physics, design, art, materials, and construction. In addition to illustrative exhibits, we provide an engaging hands-on model bridge building activity that is designed to introduce youth of all ages to basic structural engineering concepts. Bridge model kits are used, consisting of paint-mixing sticks, binder clips, chains, S-hooks, and large bottles of water for load testing.
