Pre-K

Lilly and SBP institute will join booths under a partnership between the two organizations. We will create a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting pre-K, grad and middle school. Attendees will walk through different learning stations revolving around the concept of DNA structure and function, and effect of its modifications in biological models. Temporary tattoos, other giveaways will be available.

Fun for all at a benchtop demonstration of all things chemistry. Our “Mad Scientist” lab instructor will be guiding interactive demonstrations of color and sight, as we explore the chemical reactions between acids and bases. Kids can explore the wonders of pH, through a hands-on demo of familiar non-toxic solutions. Volunteers will teach and guide students through the demonstration, alongside educational posters and contests for pH prediction. Prizes and giveaways will be available for students.

Our booth with have at least 2 different activities for kids to engage in. One will be geared toward younger children and the other will be for middle school and high school level. We are hoping to set up a glider at our space and give kids an opportunity to sit in the cockpit and learn about flying. We will have swag bags and other items for the kids to take home and will potentially set up a computer screen with some technological element.

In motion, hydraulics, bridges and more

Learn about one of the most important items found in science laboratories! Pipettes are handheld devices that allow scientists all over the world to perform precise liquid measurements. From diagnosing diseases to developing cures, these pipettes are a vital instrument for many scientists. At our Biotix booth, you will have the chance to experiment with measuring and transferring different liquids using high-quality pipettes, just like scientists do in laboratories!

Interactive models of turbines that the children will be able to participate the "running." Poster with descriptions of the company as well as the types of turbines and diagrams of how they run.
