High School

UCSD's BMES Outreach program hopes to create interest in bioengineering to children and students by having hands-on activities and demonstrations at our booth. We will have a heart-pump activity, a lung capacity activity, and a craft depicting how the lungs work. We also plan on having an organ-matching board, for the younger students. For the high school students, we plan on having poster boards about some of the research in UCSD and about college tips, in general.

Science demos to encourage youth towards STEM fields. Demos straight from the graduate students of UC San Diego with a passion for science. These students are all involved at the frontier of STEM research at UC San Diego and are here to show you science can be super fun if you know where to find it!! In addition, if you want to know more about a career in science, these enthusiastic volunteers are excited to share their experience of STEM research with you!

Wonderful Wetlands! Did you know that wetlands are found worldwide and are among the richest habitats, just as rich as a tropical rainforest? Meet scientists from the Tijuana Estuary, discover wetland critters, play with a mudflat, see what kind of science wetland biologists do, and discover why wetlands are important for YOU and for wildlife.

Join us as we explore the biodiversity of San Diego's only National Park!

Careers in Lab Animal Science

DNA extractions

Design and Architecture projects within the industry areas of industrial-product design, media design, interior architecture, design studies, construction management, and architecture forms. Student work displays and information on how to get involved in Summer Programs and Academic Programs.

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.

Inspire Charter Schools is a tuition-free, personalized learning, public charter school for TK-12th grade students. Offering both flexibility and choice, families are empowered to tailor a school program that is designed around the specific need of each student. With a fully credentialed teacher, flexible learning models, and a wealth of enrichment opportunities, Inspire Charter Schools is 21st Century Learning at its best!

Swing by our booth to experience fun, interactive, and Naval-relevant STEM activities. We hope to make STEM relevant by moving away from passive learning to hands-on demonstrations of key STEM activities in cyber and robotics.
