Middle School

American Physical Therapy Association

Our booth will feature two interactive activities for various age groups. The first is assembling life-size puzzles of the human skeletal and muscular systems. The second activity will have attendees playing physically active games (including Wii Sports and Just Dance). As they play, we explain the importance of staying physically active, and how many PT's have video game systems such as Wii's in their clinic and how they are used in treating patients.

MilliporeSigma

The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container turned mobile science lab. The Curiosity Cube brings hands-on science experiments to visitors of all ages with the goal of sparking curiosity within the future generation of scientists!

ASML

Visitors will get to try their hand at programming LEGO robots along with challenging themselves to direct a laser beam through a series of mazes.

Mechanical Advantage

Our booth will contain an approximately 6' x 6' foam surface on which a demonstration robot can be driven by program attendees. We will have a robot box that is about 2' x 2' x 3' in which we will keep supplies. We will have a tabletop display that is 4' x 6' on which we will describe our team's journey this season. We are very thankful to be sponsored by Cox.

UCSD Scientista and Graduate/Undergraduate bioinformatics council (GBIC/UBIC)

Science and LEGO! Through hands-on interactive games, our booth will focus on exposing students to the wonders of bioinformatics and computational genomics. We will have a Lego-DNA sequencer, and we will allow students to 'generate' the DNA of the monster they draw. They will see the process of sequencing DNA through this game, and gain some understanding of Next-Generation Sequencing technology. We believe this game will spark the students’ interests in biology, bioinformatics, and science! LEG

Airgas

We will be making liquid nitrogen ice cream as well as other, interactive activities with liquid nitrogen and dry ice.

Algae Academy

The Algae Academy booth will allow attendees the opportunity to see algae in action! The booth will be equipped with microscopes connected to a projector that will allow attendees to see algae up close with the help of our “Algae Experts”. After attendees get a quick lesson in Algae 101, they will receive their own mini Algae Academy Kit that will allow them to grow their own algae at home! The kit includes a guided experiment, live algae, necessary consumables and contact info for support.
