We will have multiple demonstrations related to the science of astrophysics, including spectroscopy, types of light such as infrared, telescopes to look at the Sun, optics, and the size/scale of objects in the Universe.
Hands-on demonstrations of STEM: Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Physics, Math, Geosciences, and Engineering
We will have information on animal science and animals in research, trivia, origami interactive puzzles, giveaways, possible prize wheel and many individuals with varying levels of experience within the biotech field.
STEM activity for 7-11 year olds
We want participants to engage in a hands-on electrochemistry activity-- building their own battery. The first battery was built by Alessandro Volta in 1800, long before we had cell phones to power. With some household items, you can build this battery yourself!
Participants will use: zinc washers, copper washers, felt or construction paper disks, vinegar, 2 alligator clips, copper wire, plastic tweezers and an LED light. The battery will be assembled on an acrylic stand with supervision.
Create your own colorful masterpieces using a real robot! Watch in awe as the robot dispenses vibrant color into fun patterns, and then use special paper to see the colors magically separate and spread. It's a super fun way to learn about chromatography and unleash your inner artist!
ESET's booth offers an interactive learning experience focused on essential cybersecurity practices. Through hands-on activities, you'll discover how to create and manage strong, unique passwords, while recognizing common cyber threats like phishing. You'll learn practical security measures to protect your digital life, while seeing real-time demonstrations of how antivirus software identifies and blocks potential threats to keep your devices secure.
Attendees will be led in physical stretches, exercises and games by a physical therapist to learn about body movement and why it is important to stay physically activce.
A fun introduction to reptiles and all the cool things they can do!
