Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair

The Student Leadership Board of the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair is planning simple, safe, hands-on science activities to engage students in grades K-12. They will also coordinate a "crowd source" activity, where the more participants, the more accurate the data. Each participant will provide a data point for the activity.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Our booth will consist of a few stations. One station the guests will build replica lungs in a cup using plastic cups and balloons to understand the effects of Cystic Fibrosis in the lungs. To help make this point we will also have a mini lung display hooked up to a computer monitor. At another station guests will make slime.

Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.

Booth representing Neurocrine with 20-30 staff as volunteers throughout the day. Will have activities and experiments for the kids, plus giveaways. Will also have staff on hand to answer questions about Neurocrine.

Thermo Fisher Scientific

U-shaped with 4 tables and 2 more tables in the back + 6 chairs

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.
