Quidel Corporation
TBD: working on identifying company product to feature the science behind it.
Pfizer Inc
Booth will showcase versatility of carbon dioxide
Center for Selective C-H Functionalization
The National Science Foundation Center for Selective C-H Functionalization (CCHF) is revolutionizing chemical synthesis by developing powerful, expansive, and predictable chemistries with implications on the pharmaceutical industry and technological industries that rely on the development of new materials. These new technologies that are highly sustainable, efficient and create minimal to no waste.
TechKnowHow
The booth will focus on robotics and engineering with the use of Lego components. Students will use different components and learn how STEM is applied to each lego project that is used. Students will also be able to manipulate different projects with the use of block coding to have the lego build perform different functions. At the the booth, students will be exposed to video game design and the behind the scenes on how games come to life with the use of programming and coding.
UTC Aerospace Systems
A look at the design and manufacturing of composite aerospace products with focus on our key product line: nacelles (the structure that surrounds an airplane's engines).
Protect the Brain Campaign
1) Brain health education: How EEG technology can help with brain recovery and monitoring (worksheets, information, photos, etc.)
2) EEG brain wave interactive activity: Kids can put on helmet (photo op) and see EEG waves their brain is creating
3) Nonprofit brain scan program: Promoting new nonnprofit program free to the public that provides free EEG brain scans for kids to address concussion in youth sports. flyers, giveaways, "spin the wheel" type game.
iD Tech
We are the world’s #1 summer tech camp for kids and teens ages 6 – 18! At iD Tech, we offer day & overnight summer camps for aspiring programmers, app developers, video game designers, engineers, filmmakers, photographers, and more. Courses are led by tech-savvy, adult-only staff in a fun, energetic and experiential environment. In addition to providing entertaining and age-appropriate activities, our STEM summer camps are loaded with original, real-world curriculum and professional software.
Hologic, Inc.
Silver sponsor 10x40 booth, 4 tables, 4 chairs. We'd like to have our booth in the same general location as last year but not directly in front of main stage. On the side of Park in the park facing 10th Ave (we were there a couple years back) is acceptable as well.
Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman employees will be conducting hands-on STEM learning activities and talking with visitors about engineering.
UC San Diego Bioinformatics & Systems Biology
Hands-on bioinformatics activity with legos or paper cards to show the structure of DNA/genes. Emphasis on reconstructing the genome. Participants will then draw a "monster" whose genome they have reconstructed from legos/paper after we explain to them how the reconstruction they did tells us which genes are present. UCSD Bioinformatics PhD students will be volunteers.
