LEGO, let's go! Our booth will focus on exposing students to the wonders of bioinformatics and computational genomics with hands-on games. We will have a Lego-'DNA' sequencer, and we will allow students to 'generate' the DNA of a monster they can draw. They will be able to see the process of sequencing DNA through this game, and gain an understanding of Next-Gen Sequencing technology. Through this activity, we wish to spark the students’ interests in biology, bioinformatics, and SCIENCE!

Treobytes

Our presentation will promote our after school program, and the different courses we provide. Our facilitators will be there to explain and showcase which programs we offer. We will have two of our Globase2 computers which are part of our computer build curriculum. Kids and parent will have the opportunity to build parts of the Globase2, and answer question about software and hardware. The second Globase will have a monitor which will have Scratch open, and kids will be able to block code.

Thrive Public Schools, Team Hypernova

Mrs. Kristina H. Watkins leads her 7th grade STEM class from Thrive Public Schools through the Universe with the help of Big History Project. Students created murals, models and Minecraft manipulations of games synthesizing content. Team Hypernova collaborated to design, code and build portals to mini Minecraft games that will take players through fun and exciting playable challenges covering 13.8 billion years of time: The Big Bang Theory, Stars, Solar System, Earth and Life!
