Workshop Title Workshop Description Presenters

Making Waves: Seismology from Antarctica to your home

Learn how geophysics is used in Antarctica and elsewhere. Create different seismic waves and build your own geophone to detect seismic waves at home.

Nedra Bonal

Slowing Down the Bad Guys Participate in a hands-on activity that demonstrates how multiple layers of access delay can be used to slow down a bad guy’s efforts. The participants play the role of the “bad girl” or adversary, and are challenged to complete a task multiple times, facing various delay strategies. You’ll be laughing as you learn how science and engineering are used to prevent crime.

Ruben Martinez, Tommy Goolsby, Teresa Torres, Inez Atencio

Cosmetic Chemistry Learn how chemistry and nanotechnology are used in the cosmetic industry and have some fun mixing up you own beauty products.

Bernadette Hernandez-Sanchez, Bianca Garcia, Rebecca Vigil, Rose Peralta, Bianca Thayer, Sarah Hoppe, Kathleen Martin

Solar Energy Students will be able to see different types of solar cells, connect them to see how they work and test them. If the weather permits, we will test them outside. The module will also talk about careers available to women in STEM disciplines and why they are the best in the world!

Jose Luis Cruz-Campa, Tara McCune

Loud and Flying Circuits Circuits are everywhere, in your computer, microwave, cell phone and even your alarm clock. Learn the basics in this hands-on workshop, by building circuits - some that even fly!

Elizabeth Lopez, Anna Tauke-Pedretti

I Know What’s in Your Blood! Have you ever wondered how doctors know why you are sick? Come see how a Med Lab Scientist helps to diagnose disease by testing blood and body fluids and looking through microscopes.

Margaret Alba

All About Nuclear! Students will build Lego fuel assemblies for a model nuclear reactor and calculate their yearly radiation dose. Allison Miller, Ben Cipiti, Veronica Vigil? How Glass Breaks – In Case There Is a Glass Ceiling

Glass is an amazing material that we use everywhere in our daily lives. Examples are windows (vehicle and residential), shower doors, solar panels, I-phones, computer monitors, eyeglasses, food storage and processing, mirrors, and lenses. It is a material that has been used for thousands of years to creating artistic and household objects. Glass is made from cheap and readily available materials and it can be recycled. One of the challenges that must be overcome with glass is that it is a brittle material that can break easily and can cause injuries. In this work we will examine how glass breaks under different conditions and how it can be strengthened or protected from breaking.

Green Chemistry – How Nature Can Inspire Us to Use Our Resources More Wisely

Participants will be introduced to the principles of "green chemistry", make connections between the natural and man-made world, and perform hands-on chemistry experiments.

Diane Dickie

A Bubblegum Chemistry Challenge

Don`t grab the scissors right away if you have gum stuck in your hair! Surely there must be another way to remove it. Find out the best way to remove gum from human hair through this workshop.

Amy Adams Samana Tasnim

Archaeology Detectives Be an archaeologist and help us determine where artifacts from a dig site come from. Hands-on activities include, artifact identification and dating, sand sifting, dendrochronology tree dating and mapping of dig site.

Barbara Frames , Tatiana Loya, Kate Bennett

Chemical Engineering and Makeup

Learn about what chemical engineers are, and what fields they take a role in. This workshop will also include a hands on activity relating the manufacturing process into making makeup!

Joyce Stillman, Jhana Gorman, Sarah Tuite, Nalin Anderson, Natalie Villwock

Ecology: Living Interaction The natural world is characterized by fascinating patterns and amazing diversity. Learn more about the living things around you and the systems they (and you) are a part of in this hands-on workshop.

Madeline Scheintaub

Genes in My Food! Girls will learn the importance and implications of genetic research and then explore a simplified method of DNA isolation in a hands-on activity.

MJ Vargas

Patent Law: Science on Trial Get a glimpse into the exciting world of patent lawyers with a fun hands-on workshop. Come explore how a strong background in science, engineering and mathematics prepares you for a fantastic career in patent law!

Tuesday Kaasch, Olivia Tsai

PicoCrickets This awesome session will teach students how to program PicoCricket robots! Students will use input and output devices such as light sensors, sound sensors, resistance sensors, LEDs, sound boxes, displays, and motors. Students will create and build their own program to go with their robot, and use arts & crafts during the design and building phase. This is a fun, hands-on approach to learn the fundamentals of programming.

Tasha Nesiba, Nicole Ray, Jen Dana, Janie Chen, Stephanie Marquez, Alyssa Soliz

Satellites: Plug and Play Believe it or not, we can put together and launch real satellites in just a week! This workshop is all about how it`s done, and how you can be a part of it. You will be part of a launch team and your mission is to create a satellite with LEGOs simulating Plug-and-Play, an amazing new satellite tool of the Air Force!
