The booth will have hands on demonstrations/props of common chemicals found in natural and man-made items that are commonly found in the house. Our focus is on educating the general public about chemistry and demonstrating to them that chemicals are a part of daily life and not to be feared. There will be stick models, chemical structures, and props available for people to touch, smell, and view. Our job as chemists is to answer any questions the public may have.

Visitors to the booth can participate in a walkthrough illustrating the basics of genetics and how DNA can affect our physical beings. Following the walkthrough, visitors can enjoy three hands on activity stations. The first is a Build your own DNA station, the second is a genetic engineering station, and at the final station, a robot can be build based on the selection of dominate or recessive genes from two parent robots.
