This demo illustrates how our industrial control platform (Circaflex) is used to read the values of industrial sensors (pH probe, thermocouple etc.) and send signals to output devices (pumps, heaters, motors etc.). The demo shows this in the form of a typical Bioreactor. These are capable of providing a controlled environment that supports the growth of cells typically used for pharmaceutical research etc.
Chemists and biologists use models to design new molecules that eventually become drugs used to treat diseases such as cancer. Think like a scientist with the Immuneering team and build your own 3D molecules using atoms, bonds, and your imagination!

Exploring Waves
We will host activities related to various STEM projects at our schools.
Genentech’s booth will offer an engaging look at the origins of biotechnology and our role as the birthplace of the biotech industry. Through interactive, kid-friendly STEM experiences and educational displays, visitors can explore how scientific curiosity and innovation have shaped breakthroughs over the past 50 years. Designed to inspire future scientists, the booth provides an accessible way for attendees of all ages to learn how biotechnology works and how it continues to impact communities
We will be sharing about our unique K-12 public school within SDUSD and highlighting our career pathways (Biomedical and IT) through "make and take" hands-on activities and as well as CPR demonstrations, appropriate for all ages. Visitors will make "binary bracelets" by spelling their names using binary code as well as create "pixel art" using pipettes. Additionally, we will have CPR mannequins and phlebotomy arms for both CPR and blood draw demonstrations.
Vertex will have an interactive activity. We will have scientific activity related to our Pain Project. We will have more details soon.
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers hands-on, classroom-friendly STEM activities that make complex scientific ideas tangible and fun. Two popular activities—Strawberry DNA extraction and DNA name bracelets—help students connect molecular biology concepts to real-world applications while practicing scientific thinking, data interpretation, and creative design.
Join us at the AXEIS STEM Carts booth for a fast-paced, hands-on STEM adventure! Build mini-robots, experiment with circuits, explore chemistry reactions, code with micro:bits, and challenge yourself with our student-created science missions. Fun, quick, and creative — perfect for all ages!
Every participant will receive a FREE take-home STEM kit to continue exploring science at home!
It takes true community spirit and engagement to build a successful Festival and create meaningful year-round STEAM experiences for youth and families throughout San Diego.
