Thermo Fisher Scientific's mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. Our employee volunteers will offer a range of activities for the whole family! We create an interactive and educational environment through hands-on STEM opportunities: DNA extraction, centrifuge activities, and more!

The Leidos SES booth will present a brief overview of x-rays and radiation, how they interact with matter, and how they are detected.

We’ll have an interactive demo showing how cosmic rays are detected, and show the different response from an x-ray source.

Older students with phones will be asked to take an educational stormwater quiz (via a QR code) in order to spin a wheel to win a prize (lunch boxes, dog bags, pet bowls, water bottles, etc.)
