US Army Southern California Recruiting Battalion
10X10 booth with interactive, STEM-based hands on displays.
Primary tabs
JCVI
JCVI is at the forefront of genomics, striving to unravel the complexities of the biological world to improve global health. At our booth, explore how plastic accumulates in the food chain—from small fragments in microbes and other tiny organisms to fish and, eventually, us. Learn about how our scientists are tackling the problem of plastic pollution, the power of microbes, and the effect of both on the ocean. Join us for insights at the intersection of genomics and environmental challenges.
ITJ
ITJ's Computer Scientists will be manning the booth and work with kids to create Binary Code Bracelets. They're use colored beads to represent 0s and 1s, allowing them to create bracelets with a secret message in binary.
UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society
Students will learn the structure and function of neurons and the role of electric signals in the brain/central nervous system. A visual board explaining synapse firing, neuron anatomy, and resulting brain function (muscle movement, visual processing, etc) will sit at our table. A plasma ball will sit in the middle of the poster, acting as an easy and stimulating demonstration of how electricity plays a key role in the brain. Students can touch the plasma ball and simulate electrical signaling.
UCSD Bioengineering Graduate Society
In the first demo, students will act as a stem cell and interact with different materials to stimulate cell differentiation. Afterwards, we will showcase engineering design principles by building a biomaterial scaffold for neural stem cells. The second demo will allow students to experience the impact of atherosclerosis on blood flow throughout the body. Students will “pump” blood through healthy vessels and diseased vessels using a handheld pump and tubes representing the cardiovascular system.
Booz Allen Hamilton
To be determined.
Leidos - Security Enterprise Solutions
The Leidos SES booth will present a brief overview of x-rays and radiation, how they interact with matter, and how they are detected. We’ll explain how the science is used by Leidos in some simple PowerPoint slides. We’ll have an interactive demo showing how cosmic rays are detected, and show the different response from an x-ray source.
TaylorMade Golf Company

America's Navy
Sailors in the United States Navy will be present to share information regarding various STEM career opportunities and education benefits.
ASML
ASML employee volunteers will facilitate hands-on STEM activities for children in line with what we've done at past EXPO DAY events.
