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.
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.
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.
Mostly notions about motion!
Motion is found all around the universe and its concepts are applicable in all areas of human endeavor, including within our studies of nuclear fusion science. Scientists will demonstrate motion originating from pressure/vacuum differences, eddy currents from electromagnets, and temperature differences in fluids. Participants will witness the fastest ping pong ball in the park, the highest flying can in the stands, and the coldest volcano in the heat of the day.
Univision Radio
10 x 30 booth (2 10x10 booths) radio activities.
Participants will be able to see how radio works - they'll have an opportunity to record their radio commercials and hear themselves. We playback the audio to sound live. Many of these will actually be featured on the radio.
Geek Girl
We will have some Geek Girls at the booth to answer questions on tech. We will be setup with Star Wars and other props for pictures and selfies. We will have resource material.
KGTV ABC10
