Cabrillo National Monument
Our booth will focus on the fusion of nature, technology and citizen science in the National Parks!
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) at UCSD
To show the various sides of Chemical Engineering, we are planning on hosting chemistry experiments (i.e. silly putty, slime, etc) to provide hands-on experience. This is aimed towards students in grade school and middle school to spark their interest in STEM. In addition to this, we will display a retired Chem-E-Car from a previous competition, as well as an AIChE Projects Program poster aimed towards those who are in high school and beyond. We'll have members present to answer questions, too.
United States Naval Academy STEM Center
variety of hands on activities including hydraulics, robotics, aerodynamics. fluids, thermodynamics, and physics principles, demonstrated by midshipmen and faculty from USNA.
FIRST Technical Challenge
Members of local FIRST Technical Challenge teams (consisting of middle through high-school students) will be demonstrating their robots for the community. Some teams will allow attendees to operate their robots.
Robolink, Inc.
Robolink is an education company that teaches children programming and engineering principles with robots and drones. We are striving to nurture the makers, builders, and innovators of the future by learning STEM. We will be demoing our robotics and drone kit, as well as providing simple and easy workshops at our booth to show how we teach programming.
MEL Science Ltd.
We create MEL Chemistry (https://melscience.com ). This is an educational kit for kids to help them study chemistry at home with parents. The UK and US certified kit includes all the necessary equipment and reagents to make chemical experiments at home literally in your kitchen.
J. Craig Venter Institute
Hands-on activities relating to our current research, including the Human Microbiome Project, Global Ocean Sampling as well as other genomic research projects. We will also have information surrounding our current internship opportunities.
Let’s Explore Engineering Together!
The host(s) will visually explore a few basic engineering concepts, then share examples of the various ways technology can be applied. The presentation will be interactive with the audience.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Visitors will have the opportunity to construct a lung model and learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. Visitors will also be able to make some fake mucous (aka slime) and learn why this sticky mucous clogs the lungs. Scientists will demonstrate how Cl- channels work and everyone will have the chance at winning their very own Cl- ball.
Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego's booth will host a variety of activities that come from the diverse set of STEM programming we currently offer across our clubhouses. This includes such topics and Nanotechnology, Biology, Physics, Food science, Electronics and Robotics.
