Millipore Sigma- Curiosity Cube

A retrofitted shipping container that has been transformed into a mobile science lab. The shipping container will travel the country stopping primarily at schools and public spaces to bring hands-on science to the masses. Provided by MilliporeSigma’s science education outreach program. Guests at the Curiosity Cube experience quick, fun, and hands-on science experiments led by MilliporeSigma local employees. The Curiosity Cube is equipped with the latest technology.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals

At the booth you will make lungs, see how mucus effects the lungs and see how chemical compounds can help clear mucus from the lungs.

University of California, San Diego Biomedical Engineering Society

The UC San Diego Biomedical Engineering Society strives to promote early STEM engagement for students by introducing the exciting field of biomedical engineering. With activities and demonstrations, UCSD BMES seeks to provide hands-on experiences that teach kids about biology, engineering, and medicine. Kids will enjoy the interactive experience, while at the same time learning how these three fields of science play an integral role in our society under the broader field of bio-medicine.

San Diego AALAS (SDAALAS)

The San Diego Chapter of AALAS is a non-profit benefit professional organization, not organized for the private gain of any person; and comprised of laboratory research industry professionals including Technicians, Research Scientists, Managers, Directors and commercial colleagues. Branch leadership is committed to educating and promoting the laboratory animal science community and we strive to represent the membership to the fullest extent, including appropriate public outreach efforts.

UCSD Bioengineering Graduate Society (BEGS)

By exploring the building blocks of Bioengineering and how they can be applied to solve today's medical problems, you will experience how Bioengineering is intensely interdisciplinary and innovative.

Heron Therapeutics

We are not clear just yet what we will do. We are a Biotech company.

J. Craig Venter Institute

Hands-on activities relating to our current research, including the Human Microbiome Project, Global Ocean Sampling as well as other genomic research projects. We will also have information surrounding our current internship opportunities.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Visitors will have the opportunity to construct a lung model and learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. Visitors will also be able to make some fake mucous (aka slime) and learn why this sticky mucous clogs the lungs. Scientists will demonstrate how Cl- channels work and everyone will have the chance at winning their very own Cl- ball.

MilliporeSigma

Converted shipping container, turned science lab. Full length, with ADA accessable ramp is ~30 ft. long x 10ft wide. Inside the container we'll be running 3 experiments, primarily tied to the "unseen world" (what we cannot see with our naked eye, but can with the help of technology and microscopes) and DNA. If possible, we'd also like a space next to the container for a portable tent that could function as additional activity space.
