Hologic, Inc.
We will have a DNA isolation activity so students can learn about DNA Extraction.

San Diego Miramar College
Pipette Art: Participants will learn how to use the micro pipette to measure liquids in 50ul to 100ul increments, and learn the importance of this technique in science labs. Multiple liquid samples will be colored by food coloring. They can either measure unto laminated plates or filter paper to make artful patterns which they could take home as bookmarks.
UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society
UCSD BMES will create a model of the cardiovascular system for SDFSE 2023. We will use a system of clear tubing along with red colored water and clear orbeez to simulate the major arteries of the system and red blood cells. We will connect this system to a manual pump for the user to interact with. With each pump, LED lights connected to an arduino will indicate heart rate, blood oxygenation, and fluid flow.
UCSD Bioengineering Graduate Society
UCSD BEGS will present 2 bioengineering demos at SDFSE 2023. The first demo showcases engineering design principles in the form of brainstorming, designing, and building a bacteriophage that will “attack” a bacteria of their choosing. The second demo will focus on tissue properties and structures as it relates to creating solutions for problems in human health. Students will replicate different tissue layers with common household items for bone, skin, and cardiac tissue.

MilliporeSigma
The Curiosity Cube is a retrofitted shipping container that we have turned into a mobile science lab. We aim to bring hands on science experiments to kids all across the country.
Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Salk scientists & staff will lead attendees through a DNA extraction from the wheat plant. Participants will be able to take home their completed experiment as a souvenir of their scientific learning. Salk scientists & staff with also be on hand to share about the amazing research happening at the Salk Institute & all of our dynamic programs available for youth & the community.

Marine Genome Project
Booth with fun activists for people of all ages showing how to extract DNA from strawberries, scuba diving equipment used to collect tissue samples from marine species, along with other activities relating to marine science and underwater exploration
UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society
UCSD BMES will present a demonstration about the respiratory systems using an assembled model of the lungs. The model will demonstrate how the diaphragm works to breath in and out of the lungs. We will also have a poster to give students an opportunity to work through some bioengineering problems about the respiratory system (Ex: What device would you create to help someone with breathing problems? Someone with a collapsed lung? Someone with a diseased or failing lung?).
