Center for Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry
How do molecules get made? The CSOE has scientists at Scripps and UCSD who are working on using electrochemistry/battery technology to make molecules. We'd like to demonstrate this cutting-edge technology using color-changing reactions in IKA Electrosyn instruments and discuss the work we are doing at the center. We'll have volunteer scientists staffing the booth, and stickers and temporary tattoos to give away.
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.

San Diego Public Library
The Library will be promoting our Spring into STEAM free programs for youth ages 9-12. Our interactive activities will be archeology and paleontology themed to go with our Spring into STEAM theme, Dig In!
We will also do library card sign ups and hand out STEM themed swag.
General Atomics/Energy/Fusion
Highly interactive booth covering fundamentals of states of matter, magnetism, pressure and forces, and other interesting physical science-based phenomena.
American Chemical Society Student Affiliates at UC San Diego
We will be doing a demonstration of a chemical reaction commonly known as "Foam Monsters". It uses polyutherane foam which rises and hardens inside a cup, creating a "foamy monster effect". Participants can add decorations of their choice while the foam is hardening and can take it home, while learning about exothermic reactions. None of the chemical used are toxic, and adequate safety protocols will be implemented. The initial chemical mixing will be done by us, then given to participants.
Magnolia Science Academy
Magnolia Science Academy is a California Distinguished School. MSA is a public, charter STEAM focused middle school serving San Diego since 2005. Our robotics students and teachers will be engaging guests by allowing them to try coding activities and operate remote controlled Vex IQ robots and even complete a VEX competition challenge!
Magnolia Science Academy
Magnolia Science Academy is a California Distinguished School. MSA is a public, charter STEAM focused middle school serving San Diego since 2005. Our student ambassadors and teachers will be engaging guests through several hands-on, interactive science experiments/activities such as elephant toothpaste, biome diorama, chemical reaction experiments and molecule sticks. In addition to hands-on science activities, we will also provide our guests with cool, interactive art and math activities.
