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!

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.

Quidel Corporation

10x30; 2 tables next to each other on one side of the "flu bug" vehicle and 1 table on the other side of the car.

UC San Diego Biomedical Engineering Society

Our demonstration will give students hands on experience with the fundamentals of genetic engineering. Using craft zippers, students will see how new genes can be incorporated into the genome and express a different function. Volunteers will teach and guide students through the demonstration alongside a poster board that contains informative concepts.

Scripps Research

Come and participate in an interactive experiment and learn all about the fun science programs we offer to the community!

Heron Therapeutics

At the Heron Booth attendees will make SLIME!
And play our version of Wheel of Fortune called “Wheel of Organs”. Spin the wheel that has different Internal organs (i.e. Lungs, Brain, Thyroid) on it. You will then identify the organ you land on to the organ on the “Organ Man” drawing. If you identify the correct organ you win a prize.

SDAALAS - San Diego branch of the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science

We will have origami creatures, quiz questions, spinning wheel for prizes, and possible "match the anatomy" games.

Salk Institute Education Outreach

Volunteer scientists will lead kids and community members through a hands-on wheat germ DNA extraction. At the end of the activity participants will get to take home the DNA they extracted on a necklace.
