Middle School

SeaWorld San Diego

Insulation Investigation allows students to test how blubber helps marine mammals stay warm in cold water. Participants first dip an unprotected finger into icy water, then repeat the experiment with their finger covered in Model Magic to simulate blubber. By comparing both experiences, students see how insulation reduces heat loss and supports survival in cold ocean environments.

Balfour Beatty

We’ll be showcasing our Virtual Reality technology, allowing everyone to experience a completed building before construction even begins. Additionally, we’ll present time-lapse photography that integrates with our Building Information Model, enabling end users to view snapshots of the construction lifecycle at any stage.

ASML

Create colorful art inspired by microchip patterns and discover how ASML’s machines use light to help make the tiny microchips that power modern technology.

Cyth Systems, Inc.

This demo illustrates how our industrial control platform (Circaflex) is used to read the values of industrial sensors (pH probe, thermocouple etc.) and send signals to output devices (pumps, heaters, motors etc.). The demo shows this in the form of a typical Bioreactor. These are capable of providing a controlled environment that supports the growth of cells typically used for pharmaceutical research etc.

Fire & Ice

Children of all ages will discover how hot and cold science can be as they take a journey through the world of Fire & Ice! Experience chemical reactions that will "magically" make things disappear and reveal the secret properties of special gases! Explore the states of matter and watch in amazement as we demonstrate the extraordinary and chilly properties of dry ice!
