Engineering

San Diego Children's Discovery Museum brings hands-on education to children ages 0-10. At our booth, we will provide two mobile exhibits featuring STEM concepts and engineering design processes. One exhibit will be our new "Operation Game" that highlights organs in the body and the other will be our Imagination Playground where children can construct cars, buildings, and anything they can dream of!

UCSD BMES will present a demonstration about the respiratory systems using an assembled model of the lungs. The model will demonstrate how the diaphragm works to breath in and out of the lungs. We will also have a poster to give students an opportunity to work through some bioengineering problems about the respiratory system (Ex: What device would you create to help someone with breathing problems? Someone with a collapsed lung? Someone with a diseased or failing lung?).

Bioengineering applications such as genetic engineering and organ modeling.

Bioengineering applications in genetic engineering, organ modeling, etc

Join our practicing engineers in hands-on demonstrations of scale model bridges. Test the limits of each model, and discover the secrets of how they work.
Learn how bridges withstand the forces of cars, trucks, trains, wind, earthquakes, and more. See and touch actual bridge materials. Learn how you, too, can become a bridge engineer!
