Grade School

We will have a hands- on science/engineering activity and flyers for the families

We will bring shark bifacts, like shark jaws and shark egg cases for guests to touch and learn about sharks

Our booth will demonstrate current research in renewable and solar energy. Participants will get to make their own dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) from blackberry juice and other common household materials. We will also have hands on demos of solar panels, fuel cells, and wind energy. Kids and adults alike have loved playing with and learning about this technology at the past 3 EXPOs and we're excited to share this again at the 10th anniversary!

Our booth will focus on the fusion of nature, technology and citizen science in the National Parks!

testing

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.

variety of hands on activities including hydraulics, robotics, aerodynamics. fluids, thermodynamics, and physics principles, demonstrated by midshipmen and faculty from USNA.

Members of local FIRST Technical Challenge teams (consisting of middle through high-school students) will be demonstrating their robots for the community. Some teams will allow attendees to operate their robots.

Robolink is an education company that teaches children programming and engineering principles with robots and drones. We are striving to nurture the makers, builders, and innovators of the future by learning STEM. We will be demoing our robotics and drone kit, as well as providing simple and easy workshops at our booth to show how we teach programming.
