Engineering

Guests can experience fun and interactive technologies involving secure communications that have the ability to find signals from friendly targets, a lesson in electro-mechanical design in the field of transportation and see what it’s like to virtually take a seat in a real U.S. fighter aircraft cockpit.

Highly interactive booth with discussions covering the physics of nuclear fusion, states of matter (particularly plasma!), magnetism, and electrical power generation. Demonstrations will include the coldest volcano on Earth, electromagnetic launching of aluminum cans, cork launching via rapid expansion of gas, electromagnets, and plasma formation using a hand-held high voltage source and gas-filled tubes.

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.

NDIA Exhibit booth goals are to have students learn about technology needed within DoD from our industry partners and military including Navy Diving Helmets, Robotics, a variety of electronic tools, lights, and lasers. NDIA members talk to the students and parents about careers in STEM and provided helpful information based on their real-world experience. Together we help awaken a greater interest in STEM and STEM education.

Our booth will be sponsored by Cox.

The booth will showcase both civil engineering and robotics projects created by Olympian High School students. The attendees will be able to interact with the projects and they will have the opportunity to create their own.

Our booth with have at least 2 different activities for kids to engage in. One will be geared toward younger children and the other will be for middle school and high school level. We are hoping to set up a glider at our space and give kids an opportunity to sit in the cockpit and learn about flying. We will have swag bags and other items for the kids to take home and will potentially set up a computer screen with some technological element.

In motion, hydraulics, bridges and more

STEM activities

Interactive models of turbines that the children will be able to participate the "running." Poster with descriptions of the company as well as the types of turbines and diagrams of how they run.
