Create a keychain model of the peptide hormone, Vasopressin.

Renewable Energy Sources: Harnessing nature for solar energy, wind power, and biofuels.

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.

Ever wonder what you’d look like as a scientist? Stop by our booth to take a “scientist selfie.” Get your own lab coat (while supplies last), add science-themed stickers or drawings, grab some lab gear and get a photo that’s yours to keep. Meet Eurofins scientists to learn how they test products you use, and how you can become a scientist too.

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.

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!

Create your own DNA necklace. Activity to extract DNA and place it in a micro-tube and attache to necklace like lanyard.
