STEM EXPO<\/p>\n
Saturday October 10th, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm<\/p>\n
Explore research, technology, and discovery through faculty presentations, interactive demonstrations, and hands-on experiences spanning biology, geology, cybersecurity, chemistry, math, engineering, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unearthed: The Ice Age Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Geosciences<\/p>\n Location: ISC 302<\/p>\n Contact: Lindsay MacKenzie<\/p>\n Step back in time and get hands-on with real Ice Age fossils. See, touch, and explore the remains of mammoths, giant bison, and other ancient creatures that once roamed North America.<\/p>\n Chemistry Exploration Station<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Chemistry<\/p>\n Location: ISC 117<\/p>\n Experience chemistry through a series of interactive demonstrations and activities:<\/p>\n Fingerprint Detective: Exploring the Science of Identification<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Chemistry<\/p>\n Location: ISC 113<\/p>\n Discover how forensic scientists use fingerprints to identify individuals through a series of hands-on activities. Record and classify your own fingerprints, learn techniques for developing and lifting latent prints from everyday objects, and practice comparing fingerprint patterns to find matching prints. This interactive experience provides an engaging introduction to one of the most important tools in forensic investigation.<\/p>\n Journey Through the Human Body: A Virtual Reality Adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Biology<\/p>\n Location: ISC 221<\/p>\n Experience the human body like never before through virtual reality. Using VR headsets, you’ll explore detailed 3D models of anatomical systems, travel through organs and tissues, and gain a unique perspective on how the body’s structures work together. This immersive experience brings anatomy to life in a way that traditional models and textbooks cannot.<\/p>\n Rocket Launch Demonstration: Science in Flight<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Mechanical Engineering<\/p>\n Location: CEB courtyard<\/p>\n Watch as pressurized rockets soar skyward in a series of exciting launch demonstrations. Learn how engineers and scientists use principles of pressure, force, and aerodynamics to design rockets and predict their performance. This high-flying event showcases the physics that makes rocket flight possible.<\/p>\n Biology Discovery Station<\/strong><\/p>\n Department: Biology<\/p>\n Location: TBA<\/p>\n THAT Lives in THERE??? Living Critters in Pond Water<\/em> Use Your Skull<\/em> Is It Native?<\/em> Precision Robotics in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n Have you ever wanted to operate a robot? Come see EWU\u2019s industrial robots in action and try operating one yourself! Learn how engineers use wireless communication, control systems, and automation to perform complex tasks with accuracy and efficiency<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream (while supplies last)<\/strong><\/p>\n Location: Top of the stairs (1st floor) in ISC<\/p>\n","no_wrapper":false,"component_options_toggle":false,"component_options":{"disable_component":false,"nickname":"","identifier":"","navigable":false}}],"page_override_title":"","page_hide_sidebar":false,"page_enable_page_nav":false,"page_persona_bar_default_tab":"","secondary_nav_menu_type":"menu","secondary_nav_menu":"cstem"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/89136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1459"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89136"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/89136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89301,"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/89136\/revisions\/89301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewu.edu\/cstem\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Presentation Schedule<\/h2>\n\n
